Celebrating 20 Years: Download the 2027 NOAA Marine Debris Calendar

The 2027 edition of the NOAA Marine Debris Calendar highlights 13 winning entries selected from the past 16 years of the annual “Keep the Sea Free of Debris!” Art Contest. These artworks, created by K–8 students from across the United States and its territories, showcase the creativity and dedication of young ocean advocates working to keep our ocean and Great Lakes clean.
