Foundation Launches Plastic Pollution Emergency Response

摘要

The Ocean Legacy Foundation (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) launched its new EPIC program in September. EPIC - an acronym for the four pillars of the program: Education, Policy, Infrastructure, and Cleanup - is an extension of the foundation's mission to reduce plastic waste in the ocean. The foundation is a Canadian nonprofit organization that develops and implements plastic pollution emergency response programs and innovative marine debris solutions worldwide. "This is bringing all of the things we've been doing under one umbrella," said Ocean Legacy Foundation Marine Debris Specialist Karla Robison. "This is a specific international program [to cover] some components of what we do."
