On Wednesday, August 27, 2014, the NOAA Marine Debris Program hosted its first Marine Debris Prevention Projects Webinar.

Ninety participants engaged in marine debris prevention from across the country joined the call to learn more about education and outreach projects funded through the program's Marine Debris Prevention through Education and Outreach grants in FY 2013.

Four of the program's partners from The Sea Research Foundation, Ocean Conservancy, University of Georgia Marine Extension, and Monterey Bay Aquarium presented on the key successes, challenges and final outcomes of their projects.

The forum provided an opportunity for grant recipients and the larger marine debris education and outreach community to learn about resources and exchange information, as well as offering our newly selected FY 2014 grant recipients an opportunity to hear about past projects.
