Marine Debris Tracker: By using the app Marine Debris Tracker, you can log the types of trash you collect and create important data for scientists and lawmakers to better understand the marine debris crisis. This data can lead to legislation such as plastic bans that will keep our ocean cleaner! Make sure to create an account ahead of time and select “The International SeaKeepers Society” as an organization before you start logging. By using the Marine Debris Tracker, you are eligible for 1 extra community service hour.
For any inquiries or help registering, please contact [email protected].
We look forward to cleaning with you!
