Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative (from SEA-MDI website)
The Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative is a partnership with the NOAA Marine Debris Program. The primary goals of the Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative are to:
- Use innovative technologies and unique expertise to add culturally relevant outreach tools and information to the current NOAA Marine Debris Program.
- Create a three-state (North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia) marine debris consortium to strategize regional marine debris efforts while facilitating the prioritization of Federal efforts by putting the region into a national context.

Marine Debris Tracker App (from SEA-MDI website)
The Marine Debris Tracker mobile application allows you to help make a difference by checking in when you find trash on our coastlines and waterways. You can easily track and log marine debris items from a list of common debris items found on the beach or in the water. The app records the debris location through GPS and you can view the data on your phone and submit to the Marine Debris Tracker Website for viewing and download later (requires registration, which you can do from the app). The Marine Debris Tracker is a joint effort of the NOAA Marine Debris Program and the Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative (SEA-MDI) out of the University of Georgia Faculty of Engineering.
