In partnership with the State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii’s Marine Debris Rapid Response (MDRR) program directly addresses wildlife entanglement and plastic pollution impacting Hawaii’s coastlines. By providing the public an efficient means of reporting marine debris with quick response and action from the SCH team, coastal locations in need will be addressed and remedied faster than ever before.
SCH Marine Debris Rapid Response team (AKA the Ghost Net Busters) target ghost nets on O'ahu coastlines only. Other types of marine debris reported are addressed by other means of cleanup efforts and directed to the appropriate response network.
