Marine Debris Monitoring Program
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Center for Marine Conservation developed a
national program. The National Marine Debris Monitoring Program was a SIX-year study, now
completed and was designed to determine the sources of litter on the beach. STSTI is
continuing the program. The information gained through this program gives researchers in
Hawaii a better understanding of Hawaiian trends in the sources and types of Land and Marine
litter. For more information on the six year study - see the National Marine Debris Monitoring
Program website at www.cmc-ocean.org. Please join us and make a difference!
Save The Sea Turtles International (STSTI)
Save The Sea Turtles International sponsors beach clean-ups on the North Shore of Oahu every
month for over eight years. Thousands of turtles and other sea life are injured or killed each
year worldwide due to land and marine debris. We are changing that, one beach at a time,
with Adopt-A-Beach Hawaii. We hope the State of Hawaii & UH will take join the program.
STSTI is also involved in getting recycling on all Hawaii beaches. We have many programs and
need volunteers! Certificates & Community Service accredited letters available.
Aloha and Mahalo (Thank You) for Keeping our beaches beautiful!
