Approximately 80% of marine debris originates from land-based sources and 
90% of marine debris is comprised of plastic materials. This conference 
focuses on understanding the contribution of land-based sources to the 
impacts, composition, and distribution of marine debris in the world's 
oceans.  Sessions will focus on reducing the contributions of trash and 
debris caused by littering, proliferating waste generation, and industrial 
discharges from plastic manufacturing and resin transport.  The wide array 
of local an international speakers will provide a diversity of perspectives 
on the research and policies needed to solve these problems. This 
conference will provide an update on the latest storm water and solid waste 
management techniques and invite participants to join together in 
problem-solving dialogues oriented to collaborations between industry, 
government and the environmental community.
