Marine Debris Foundation

On December 18, 2020 the passage of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act established the Marine Debris Foundation as a charitable and nonprofit organization to support the marine debris activities of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The purposes of the Marine Debris Foundation include encouraging, accepting, and administering private gifts of property for the benefit of, or in connection with, efforts to address marine debris and to perform other functions related to marine debris.
