      • 🌊 Where does our trash go after it starts drifting through local waterways?

Palm Beach County students are helping scientists find out by creating bright orange drift cards that will be released into the water Nov. 10. The public can then help by finding and reporting them, giving researchers clues about where floating debris may accumulate.

And yes, one student's card is officially “fantastic.” 🦈
