Team Members: Laila Irvina Pramudito, Delilla Suhanda, & Adinda Maharani
Education is the first step to increasing public awareness of marine debris issues and inviting the public to participate in solutions. Hazman Hiwari and his team propose a program in which the people of Tunda Island will be invited to engage in citizen science activities and monitor the distribution and composition of marine debris. In addition to this, his program will include a social awareness campaign through social media, a youth sustainability competition, and organizing and sharing the information collected by gatherings of citizen scientists.
