The Mississippi Coastal Cleanup Program (MSCCP) is a non-profit educational program that promotes the conservation of the local marine environment by facilitating active stewardship within coastal Mississippi. The MSCCP was formed with the mission of preventing and removing litter from the coastal environment through education, outreach, research, and cleanup events.

This presentation will provide an overview of Mississippi Coastal Cleanup educational presentations, outreach, and activities designed to educate K-12 students and the general public on the importance of reducing marine debris through hands-on activities and actionable changes.
