​​EVENTS & RESEARCH

There are so many ways to connect with us: cleanups, conferences, public presentations, debris analysis, brainstorming sessions, etc. 

We created this site to help spread the word about this global issue.  Explore more, borrow an education kit or create art.  Never stop learning!

Searching for SHARKastics on Palmyra Atoll (2012-2020)
While doing various projects with The Nature Conservancy, the SHARKastics Team also collected marine debris from all around the atoll.  The debris types slightly differ from what we typically find in HI, which is very interesting.  There are plenty of sharks and SHARKastics!  We hope to get back there soon!

Since 2003

HI Hawksbills

We look forward to meeting you!
