The Consider Litter project is designed to empower community members (students, teachers, businesses and local leaders) in dialogue and stewardship on the removal and prevention of marine debris from Louisiana’s Barataria, Pontchartrain and Terrebonne basins—communities disproportionately impacted by pollution and historically marginalized. By focusing on Title I schools, Consider Litter will build a network of visible and diverse community stewards who can monitor litter in their communities and compile data that can help inform resulting prevention/mitigation projects. The project is being coordinated in partnership with the Pontchartrain Conservancy.
