Location: Randolph–Macon College, 114 College Ave, Ashland, VA 23005
There are growing concerns about the impacts of debris and plastic pollution in rivers, lakes, the ocean and coastal waters, along with increasing emphasis on stormwater management of litter and debris. Virginia faces a new urgency to understand and address the sources of litter and marine debris in our waters.
One of the goals of the workshop: stormwater professionals (and those who work with them to reduce litter) will provide input to the updated version of the Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan (VMDRP). Attendees will help set priorities for 2021-2025.
