Our partnership with the Center for Marine Debris Research is having an EPIC impact!
For every Hawai'ian Coral Reef Bracelet sold, we'll donate $1 to @debrisresearch who will use our donation to fund projects that reduce the ecological damage caused by plastic fishing gear on Hawai'i’s reefs.
Together, we will..
• Remove fishing gear like nets, buoys, and traps from Hawaii’s coral reefs and coastlines
• Photo-document and sample recovered gear to determine which fishery it came from
• Support collaborations with other international research organizations to compare data and ensure its reliability
• Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals to drive awareness and action on plastic pollution
• Examine the feasibility of setting up a program for long-term monitoring and at-sea removal of ghost gear
