Melissa Aguayo, Advocacy and Education Director, The 5 Gyres Institute

Trash Blitz evaluates plastic pollution throughout the watershed and near shore environments using both citizen and rigorous science. Results from the pilot project will be used to create a toolkit for other cities to follow. Melissa will share how the toolkit will help cities make more informed and targeted policy decisions to stop the flow of plastic pollution from source to sea.
