Marine Debris Solutions

2019 Mid-Atlantic Marine Debris Summit

Many bright spots amid data about oodles of plastics afloat in our oceans at this week's Mid-Atlantic Marine Debris Conference at George Mason University in Virginia. I was so impressed with all of the thinking and analysis going into how to communicate effective messaging to specific audiences around source reduction and the gains in data collection. 

Unlike many types of pollution, plastics are fairly traceable to their sources including sourcing balloons to individual events like weddings.  I learned that blowing bubbles is a better, yet still fun choice!

For sometime, I thought that banning items, one by one, and then jurisdiction by jurisdiction was not an efficient or sophisticated policy approach but when you hear, worldwide, the average person uses 140 plastic bags per year (!), it seems imperative to take every step possible.

Marine debris is such an important issue, and it's great to see more solutions being put in place to tackle it. Whether it's beach cleanups or new technologies to remove trash from the ocean, every little bit helps! After a long day of working on these initiatives, it might be nice to unwind with a fun activity like ดูหนังโป๊ไทย—it's important to have a balance between working towards solutions and enjoying some downtime!
