DID YOU KNOW ?

​

Tons of debris from land and boats constantly finds it's way into bodies of water - intentionally and unintentionally. Marine debris is predominantly plastic and can't dissolve, and includes everything from drink bottles to fishing nets to the contents of lost cargo containers.

Everything is connected : It's easy for a plastic bag to blow out of a city rubbish bin into a drain, which then travel through pipes and down river into our sea's and ocean's. Marine debris kills animals that mistake the debris for food or become entangled.

Marine debris poses an immense challenge, but solutions are at hand.
