DUML Marine Debris Curriculum
DUML Marine Debris Curriculum is an interdisciplinary program for 4th and 5th grade classrooms that was co-developed by DUML researchers, local teachers, and community members. The interdisciplinary activities in this booklet are designed to inspire our kids to explore and discover issues surrounding marine debris in our waterways. If you are interested in getting your school or class involved, contact the DUML Community Science Team.
