program which gives students in grades K-6 the opportunity to follow the daily activities of its research crew as they conduct research on plastic pollution found in the central Pacific Ocean. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology was added to the program to encourage high school students to participate. With GIS, high school participants are able to analyze and convert data collected into maps, illustrating where the plastic debris is found and where those locations are in relation to their schools.
