Description:Reduction of marine plastic litter is an immense challenge across U.S. coastlines. In California alone, it was estimated that local taxpayers spend over $420,000,000 annually to prevent plastic and other litter from entering waterways (California Ocean Protection Council & NOAA Marine Debris Program, 2018). Sanctuary-specific activity is primarily driven by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program, focusing on removal, prevention research, regional coordination, and emergency response related to marine debris (NOAA Marine Debris Program, n.d.).
