Marine Debris B-roll from NW Hawaiian Islands

NOAA and several partners in Hawaii announced a comprehensive long-term plan to actively assess and remove plastics, derelict fishing gear, and other human sources of marine debris from coastal waters and coral reefs along the island chain. The plan, a first of its kind for the nation, will be instrumental in protecting the states coastal communities and marine life from the thousands of pounds of marine debris that wash ashore each year.
