Host: Natalie Springuel Other Credits: Keri Kaczor Coastal Conversations: Conversations with people who live, work, and play on the Maine coast, hosted by the University of Maine Sea Grant Program. This month: Everyone can make a difference to address the issue of marine debris (or trash) that enters our oceans! Keri Kaczor of Maine Sea Grant hosts a conversation with members of a Community Action Coalition who’ve come together to help tackle marine debris pollution in the Gulf of Maine. Coalition members from Maine Marine Trades Association, Maine Island Trail Association, and Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association will share some impacts of marine debris on communities, wildlife and ecosystems in the Gulf of Maine, and simple steps we all can take to help prevent trash from entering our shared waterways. The work of this Marine Debris Community Action Coalition is funded by NOAA Sea Grant through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. Join us, and tune in on Friday, September
