Topics

Plastic waste in the ocean has continued to be a topic of interest in the United States and globally. This plastic study will bring experts together to study the United States contributions to global ocean plastic waste, as defined in the draft "Save Our Seas Act 2.0" bill. The study began June 2020 and will last for 18 months with a final report scheduled for publication in the Fall of 2021. This page contains updates on the project.
