Ohio Sea Grant, The Ohio State University Stone Laboratory, and Ohio Clean Marinas Program have been working on the issue of marine debris in freshwater environments for many years. During this time, we have identified the best waste removal strategies, developed educational tools and outreach programs, and conducted research on consumer behavior change. Boaters and the boating industry have been a partner for much of this work. This session will cover current research on trash in our waterways, abandoned and derelict vessels, single-use plastic reduction, and shrink wrap recycling. Existing resources and educational tools will be shared
