Education
Algalita's educations goals are met through our K-12 school programs (including cirriculums and/or DVDs set to California's science standards), through public outreach, and through our unique educational literature. We make presentations at the local, state, federal and international levels on the topics of marine debris and ocean health. We have also created a series of videos intended to inform the public about ocean pollution.
