Abstract
In 2016 Ocean Conservancy published its 30th International Coastal Cleanup report. Unfortunately, after three decades, the report continues to demonstrate that too much trash ends up on our beaches and in our waterways and oceans. Marine litter is not only unsightly it can harm ocean ecosystems, wildlife, and humans. Its effects have prompted governments, private enterprises, environmental groups, and countless citizens to take action.
