NOAA Marine Debris Clearinghouse
Welcome to the NOAA Marine Debris Program Information Clearinghouse, an online resource empowering the marine debris community to discover, explore, and apply knowledge in their efforts to study and mitigate marine debris and its impacts.
Clearinghouse ContentExplore, Visualize & DownloadThis site houses information on the ongoing and historical marine debris projects of the NOAA Marine Debris Program and its many funded partners. The Marine Debris Clearinghouse allows users in the marine debris community to query and discover these projects based on the project category, location, or debris type through two distinct views: ExploreThe Explore view allows users to narrow their search by project category, date, debris type, project title, and region/territory. Go to the Explore view VisualizeThe Visualize view provides an interactive Google map tool where a user can narrow their view by activity, debris type, funding year, and/or region. Projects can also be viewed in a timeline or tabular view. Go to the Visualize view |

LibraryThe Library pulls together resources and documents related to marine debris. This includes successful field techniques, regional action and response plans, relevant literature, and “topic papers” that reflect the state of knowledge of a given topic within the overall issue of marine debris.
