Business as usual will not solve the marine debris crisis. We need to spark and support out-of-the-box thinking in the tech sector, manufacturing sector, and other markets that can shape a better future for ocean health. In 2025, MDF will initiate the process for our first Genius Prize for Save Our Seas Innovation. We are currently in the early planning phase and will update our website and other platforms as we proceed.
More information coming soon.
