Marine debris -any persistent solid material that is manufactured or processed and directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, disposed of or abandoned into the marine environment- has become one of the most widespread pollution problems facing the world's oceans and waterways.

MarBEF is a network composed of nearly 100 marine institutions from the European Union. This website has quite a range of resources and content applicable to different age groups.

It also has a great section just for kids including: games/puzzles, simple descriptions of ocean concepts and phenomena and information about various marine inhabitants. Because the website is so content-rich, it may take some time to navigate, but it's well worth it.
