*Speakers: *Aude Lochet and Kris Stepenuck, Lake Champlain Sea Grant

*Description:* Established in fall 2024, the Lake Champlain Basin Marine
Debris Coalition is led by Lake Champlain Sea Grant, Rozalia Project, Lake
Champlain Committee, Conservation Law Foundation, Vermont Boat and Marine
Association, and Lake George Association. This effort is made possible by
funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The team carried out a series of surveys of businesses and property owners
during summer 2025. Goals included understanding use and sale of foam-based
products that had potential to end up as marine debris in the lake, such as
docks, buoys, take away containers, coolers, and bait buckets. This
presentation will summarize high level findings of these surveys and share
ideas for outreach to address barriers individuals and businesses face in
using encapsulated foam or non-foam products on and near the lake.

Hope to see you there!
