INSPIRING COMMUNITY ACTION
The EPA states that
marine debris prevention
should begin in the
watershed and that
public education is an
integral part of any
successful program.
“The only way to truly manage marine
debris pollution is through prevention
– changing the behaviors that cause
marine debris to enter the
environment.”
- NOAA
