  5. Programs • Ocean Research Expeditions • Annual scientific expeditions to perform research at sea on the pattern and impact of marine debris • Break Through Analysis • Our scientists analyze this new data in our network of collaborating laboratories globally • Innovation Development • We identify, test and promote new ways to retrieve and convert marine debris as well as prevent and reduce waste • Accelerating Change • We apply our discoveries in programs to change consumer behavior, improve industry practices, and craft public policy

  6. History • Unvisited area – little knowledge • Science exploration, new data, new questions………. • Awareness brings innovation

  7. Opportunities • Global Ocean Recovery System • Visual Intelligence – satellite, “scanners,” detectors.. • Communal Science Interactivity • Real time, with a story
