    people’s awareness on the marine
    debris problem and hopefully, will
    change behavior that causes
    pollution
    Importance of Data Collection

    ▪ Data collected will encourage


    businesses, industries and
    manufacturing companies to make
    innovations to reduce trash and
    protect the marine environment

    ▪ Data collected will help inform/


    influence policy-makers to create
