Join Save The Albatross Coalition (STAC) for a compelling presentation on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, led by Captain Charles Moore, the researcher who discovered it. Captain Moore will make a short presentation. There will be a short documentary produced in collaboration with the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), followed by an open discussion. The film chronicles his 20-year research journey with the Algalita Marine Research and Education team, exposing the devastating accumulation of 80,000 metric tons of plastic and the toll that microplastic “toxic confetti” takes on marine ecosystems and human health.

(This second viewing is offered at a strategically earlier time in order to appeal to global community members outside our official time zone.)

Save The Albatross Coalition is a program of Zero Waste USA.
