Keynote: Marine Litter—The Last Straw? (Room Ballroom B)

Every day brings new stories about creative ways that people are re-using plastic waste to make new products or communities considering banning plastic bags, straws, balloons and other materials that end up in rivers and oceans, impacting water quality and wildlife. But how do we prevent marine litter from getting into our waterways in the first place? Join our discussion of the future of marine litter education, research and funding for new ways to tackle plastic waste.
