Algalita Marine Research Institute Makes Good Happen!

Here at the Center for Living Peace, we are always on the lookout for people and organizations trying to embody peace in their communities. One of our partners, The Algalita Marine Research Institute, has been doing just that and we wanted to share some of their efforts with you.

The Algalita Research Institute is a non-profit research and education organization that aims to protect the marine environment. Members of this organization conduct research on plastic found in oceans, and how this type of pollution affects the world and human health.

Take a look at their video below to learn more about their research and what they are doing to help preserve our precious marine life.
