Beach cleanup by CHANCE participants
Morgan Stanley, National Geographic Society and the University of Georgia College of Engineering have partnered to support the Marine Debris Tracker. The Marine Debris Tracker is a mobile application which enables citizen scientists to collect standardized data on marine debris quickly, efficiently, and on a global scale.
Marine debris is one of the most pervasive global threats to the health of the ocean. It can harm or kill wildlife, damage and degrade habitats, and threaten navigational safety, economies, and human health. Monitoring marine debris can be used to track the progress of marine debris prevention efforts, adds value to beach cleanups, and provides important baseline knowledge which can be used to inform solutions.
The Marine Debris Tracker is a unique way for YOU to get involved in collecting marine debris monitoring data in your community!
Anyone can contribute!
