- "Unfortunately in recent years the U.S. has not made picking up trash in our most special places in the ocean a priority." quote from Elliott Norse, president of the Marine Conservation Biology Institute;
"We are collecting less [marine debris]," - quote from Steve Thur, acting coral program director for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; both quotes appeared in this MSNBC article.
