Million Points of Blight serves as a national network for established storm drain stenciling programs run by state and local government, as well as several non-governmental groups. Storm drain stenciling is not a new idea; in fact some organizations have been conducting such projects for years, but the Center believed that it would be helpful for these groups to become part of a network to share ideas and success stories. In addition, Million Points of Blight serves as a guide for individuals and groups which do not have storm drain stenciling programs in their areas. The Center provides educational materials on non-point source pollution and stencils to those who want to get stenciling started in their communities. There are currently 89 on-going stenciling projects in 32 U.S. states and Canadian provinces that are part of the Million Points of Blight network, with documentation of over 100,000 drains stencilled.
69 SESSION VI POSTERS Sources of Marine Debris: Rural, Coastal and Upland Discharges Baird, David Clean Islands International Caribbean Project Clean Islands International, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada Element 1: It is proposed to establish a detailed scientific study of beach debris in the wider Caribbean, consistent with the procedures developed for other projects. This would be similar to the Marine Debris Pilot Monitoring Project, carried out by the University of Puerto Rico and those being developed by the EPA for the U.S. coastal beach debris sampling program. That is, sampling transects of specific target beaches are done on a monthly basis. In the Wider Caribbean, we would be starting with a series of target beaches (in the order of 12) scattered throughout the region. A detailed consideration would be given to actual site selection for the long term study. Element 2: Once the study in Element 1 is well established, we will expand the scope of the study area to eventually encompass every country in the region. It is expected that the research project will span five years to a full implementation in all 29 countries. Implementation plans will allow for the monitoring process to carry on for a further period beyond that time. Methodology: The actual sampling program will be started by the team above, in the company of local individuals or groups, such as a school or college class (depending on the specific island or community). These people would be trained in the methodology to be used for the project duration, as they will take stewardship of the continued-data acquisition. The project scientists would carry out periodic follow up monitoring with the local groups, to ensure consistency. Element 3: To be developed concurrently with the scientific research, above, will be an educational outreach program for each country involved. Discussions would be held with the educators of each country, to develop a sense of, and a sensitivity to, their educational needs in our development of a Marine Debris and Solid Waste Curriculum for the Wider Caribbean Region. The framework would also be established for the development of teacher in-service workshops, and the customization of the curriculum to each country as required. This too, would be a staged implementation, requiring about seven years to fully implement in all 29 countries. Element 4: As an extension to Elements 1 and 2, the research team should develop a computer data base for the. beach debris data collected. This computer system would provide for the establishment of a telecommunications link to the data base and for the addition of data acquired by-others. Further, linkage of information to an -electronic atlas are to be explored as part of this project.
