Marine debris is one of the largest threats to human beings, marine life and vital ecosystems. By better understanding the sources of debris, we can reduce marine pollution and better protect North Carolina coastlines. One effective way to spur action is through empowering youth to create environmental and community solutions. Join Dr. Liz DeMattia of Duke University Marine Lab, and Duke University students, as they explore trends in debris data and discuss implications for the environment and future policies, while taking a deep dive into the value of intergenerational learning.
