A Better Belle Isle

November 3, 2014 by NOAA Marine Debris Program

By: Sarah Lowe (Opfer)

A portion of shoreline on Belle Isle, Michigan is now free of marine
debris! In 2012, the NOAA Marine Debris Program and the Great Lakes
Restoration Initiative provided funding to the Alliance for the Great
Lakes to tackle the problem of marine debris on this historic island.

Throughout the past two years, the project team has been busy on four
different project components. The removal project helped clean up 200
metric tons of debris, which included concrete slabs, rebar, and other
metal debris.
