Our Mission and Work
Algalita is dedicated to the protection of the marine environment and its watersheds through research, education, and restoration. We do this by:

- Distribution, abundance and fate of marine plastic pollution
- Potential harmful effects of plastics in the marine environment
- Transference of toxicants and their impact on human health
2. Providing authoritative, educational findings to students, scientists, the general public, governmental agencies, and the private sector.
3. Collaborating with organizations working toward restoring the aquatic environment by reducing and ultimately eliminating plastic pollution.
