This page provides resources that were shared at the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy's Research Mission, which focuses on marine debris in Jamaica Bay.
This document contains a wealth of resources and links that you can use, including lessons, videos, and activities to help students understand how and where marine debris is generated.
Students can use this journal to record the amount of garbage that they or their family generate in a day. This is a great way to start thinking about all the ways that we generate trash in our daily lives.

This is a link to the Google form that you and your students will use to enter data. For this research mission, each student team should enter their data separately.
