Reducing Marine Litter

North America is a significant contributor of land-based marine litter. Common trash from consumer goods in coastal and inland locations make up the majority of trash that eventually becomes marine litter, polluting our waterways and oceans.

Our work educates and empowers local communities by encouraging the prevention, minimization, and management of waste before it finds its way to waterways and oceans.
