Marine Debris Field Trip to Faga'alu

Brody and Jack recording the type of trash that their group is picking up during the field trip to Faga'alu after Peter's presentation on Marine Debris.  During this field trip, 40lbs of trash was picked up from the beach and on the cricket field in Faga'alu that day.  Most of the trash that they picked up were glass bottles, candy rappers, plastic bottles, bottle caps, cigarette butts and clothing materials.

DMWR Marine Summer Course 2012

After Peter Taliva'as presentation on Marine Debris, kids took a field trip to Faga'alu to conduct a clean up and a snorkel session.  These hands on activities will remind them that what we do on land can affect life in the ocean.  After the clean up, Peter took them for a snorkel so they can see all the trash floating on corals and under the sand in the ocean.  Everybody had fun and learn something during the Marine Debris session on June 12, 2012.
