Algalita Marine Research and Education

Algalita Marine Research and Education Working Toward a World where Plastic Pollution is Unthinkable Algalita believes that sound science should drive policy and direct improved product design.

As the pioneer in the study of plastic pollution, Algalita was the first to spearhead the research methodology for collecting and analyzing micro/macroplastic samples from the ocean. Since Captain Moore’s 1997 discovery of the “plastic soup” in the North Pacific Gyre, we’ve continued collecting samples through multiple expeditions in the North Pacific and around the world. In 2016, we plan to publ

ish a 15-year retrospective study evaluating the long-term trends and changes we’ve observed in the Gyre. As we move forward, our in-depth research will continue to influence positive change and solutions on a global level. Algalita realized long ago that in order to make a real difference, educating our future generations was critical. Our science-based educational programs are innovative, hands-on and reach thousands of students across the globe every year. We strongly believe that effective environmental education raises an awareness that provokes action. Algalita provides individualized support for students and teachers interested in finding their place within the movement to combat plastic pollution.
