CLEAN ISLANDS CLEAN BEACHES PROJECT

How do you explain the feeling you get after spending hours cleaning plastic and trash off a beach, only to turn around and see that same beach still looking fully polluted?

Year 3 of Clean Islands Clean Beaches (CICB) showed similar trends to previous years.  Except even more.  For the first time in three years, we started to find diapers in the dozens and more smaller plastic pieces than we could even begin to count.  

The question is where do we go from here?  The picture to the right shows the scene.  The videos, blogs, and infographics below tell the story.  Thanks for spending some time learning about plastic pollution in the Marshall Islands and helping be a part of the sollution.
