Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project

Cover of the Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project fact sheet.

Marine debris is a familiar sight on shorelines around the world, and a reminder that there is still work to be done to tackle this global environmental problem. While we know a lot about marine debris, there are questions that can help test and identify the best solutions. How much marine debris is on our shores? What kind of debris is it, and where does it come from? Are these things changing over time? This document outlines how the NOAA Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project (MDMAP) can help answer those questions and how you can participate.
