Coastal Conversations Radio Program: Marine Debris
Coastal Conversations Show: September 27, 2024
Host: Keri Kaczor, Maine Sea Grant
Everyone can make a difference to address the issue of marine debris (or trash) that enters our oceans! Keri Kaczor of Maine Sea Grant hosts a conversation with members of a Community Action Coalition who’ve come together to help tackle marine debris pollution in the Gulf of Maine. Coalition members from Maine Marine Trades Association, Maine Island Trail Association, and Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association will share some impacts of marine debris on communities, wildlife and ecosystems in the Gulf of Maine, and simple steps we all can take to help prevent trash from entering our shared waterways. The work of this Maine Debris Community Action Coalition is funded by NOAA Sea Grant through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. Join us, and tune in on Friday, September 27th at 4PM for this month’s Coastal Conversation – only on WERU community radio at 89.9 FM and streaming online at WERU.org. Coastal Conversations is supported by Maine Sea Grant in partnership with Schoodic Institute and The First Coast.
