SEPTEMBER 16, 2016--On September 12 - 13, two NOAA Marine Debris Program team members (Carlie Herring, Research Coordinator and Keith Cialino, Northeast Regional Coordinator) conducted shoreline marine debris monitoring at eight beach sites along the Maine and Massachusetts coastline.

This marine debris monitoring is part of a larger nation-wide effort.

Monitoring shorelines can help answer important questions about the composition, distribution, abundance, and sources of marine debris. To learn more about shoreline marine debris monitoring check out the Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project “Get Started Toolbox .”
