Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22. It is a day dedicated to showing support for planet Earth and celebrating those who work to protect it from threats like marine debris.

Our trash has been found in every corner of our ocean, from the most remote shorelines, to ice in the Arctic, and even the deepest parts of the sea floor.
