School students from around the country have joined the Australian Marine Debris Initiative by adopting their local section of beach for on-going marine debris monitoring and removal, showing the next generation is dedicated to the protection of our marine environment.

If you are part of a school that would like to join the Australian Marine Debris Initiative, get in touch with us! We may be able to provide schools with clean-up materials and visit your school for presentations, workshops and to help with beach clean-up events.

We have many free resources available to download now so you and your class can learn more about marine debris and how you can make a difference. Check these out:

• Education Kit - Here we offer lessons and resources for early primary (Prep - Grade 3), upper primary (Grades 4 - 6) and Senior grade levels (years 7 - 10). You may download, print, and redistribute the materials in any medium or format under our creative commons licensing structure.
