[CINC] A Call for "Zero Discharge" into our oceans!

[Paul Jr. Petrich]

Volunteers,
 Today in the Santa Barbara ( Sunday ) News-Press, on the front page of the Nation & World section, a summarization was published of a new report on the current national  and international measures to prevent and reduce ocean debris.
