In this program, Everblue team members create special lesson plans based on research done by our partnered scientists to get ocean education into people's homes while we are all social distancing. We focus on highlighting the science of human effects on the ocean, and place an emphasis on plastic pollution research. New exciting lessons based on current published research will be launched every Friday until the end of quarantine (Image: Design credit to Dom Librie and Rachel Aitchison, Everblue).Įverblue is an Oregon nonprofit that specializes in helping scientists communicate their research through education and online engagement.

I look forward to the time when we can all meet again as a community to conduct beach cleanups and attend workshops, but for the foreseeable future, all planned in-person workshops sponsored by NOAA have been postponed. I am continually amazed by the phenomenal work that each of you have accomplished, even more so in light of the current "Stay-at-Home" orders that most of us are dealing with. I want to take a moment to say thank you for the warm welcome I have received from all the members of our Pacific Northwest Marine Debris community that I've been fortunate to connect with so far.
