All of Debris Free Oceans’ educational programming highlights how people can take individual action to close the loop to the lifecycle of plastics and waste.
Thinking holistically, Debris Free Oceans teaches pre-kindergarteners through adults how to practice the “5 Rs” of zero waste: Rethink/Redesign, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle/Compost, and Recapture.
Debris Free Oceans engages students with interactive presentations on marine debris, covering its threats to South Florida’s ecosystems, economy, and health of its residents; the history of plastics; and actions each person can take to limit the amount of waste they create.
Through the Chef Andrew Scholar Program, our Scholars lead free educational talks for Miami-Dade schools, community groups, and organizations. We schedule presentations for all ages of students from kindergarten through university.
We offer free virtual education resources available anytime on our website.

”Debris Free Oceans inspired our students, faculty, and staff to create less waste and rethink disposable. I hope other schools take the opportunity to work with the Debris Free Oceans team.
