2011 Plastics Are Forever Youth Conference from Algalita on Vimeo.
Algalita's education goals are met through our K-12 school programs (including curriculums 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.
Support for these resources is made possible by a grant from the Boeing Foundation and a partnership with Friends of the LA River (FOLAR). Students will learn about the impacts of plastic pollution on marine wildlife and human health, and what they can do to stop plastic from entering our watersheds.
