Trawl to Trash Program

Climb aboard the UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium’s research vessel Sea Dawg, for a trawl in Wassaw Sound! Participants will learn how to identify different types of marine life found in tidal rivers while learning about Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant’s Trawl to Trash program, which is designed to prevent litter from entering the marine environment. Participants will learn how to construct their own trawl to trash bags using recycled shrimp net material so that it can be used to collect marine debris along the coast! Registration is required and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium.
