Sea Grant

Human-generated plastic debris in the ocean is a rapidly growing 
problem. Learn about plastic that ends up in the sea, from large visible 
items down to micro-sized plastic particles. Find out what happens to 
the plastics, both as marine debris on a beach and as tiny pieces 
floating or sinking in the open sea. Hear what directions research is 
taking and see first-hand how ‘citizen science’is helping to track the 
problem. Resources on marine debris and plastics included for K-12 
classes.**
