Reducing Marine Litter Through Local Action

A Toolkit for Community Engagement

Description

The purpose of this toolkit is to help North American urban, suburban and rural communities located inland or in coastal areas to mobilize and coordinate efforts to reduce and prevent improperly disposed trash from becoming marine litter. The toolkit was developed as an accessible resource for local organizations, community leaders and anyone passionate about leading local or regional initiatives to address marine litter. It is intended as an introduction to organizing, building and sustaining momentum around community actions and initiatives to reduce land-based marine litter.
