What do I do if I find something during a clean-up that I can't identify?
The first place to look is in the marine debris manual
Identifying your mystery item
Step 1
Check the Marine Debris ID Manual
Step 2
Use Google Lens (or a similar app) to get some clues about what it might be
Step 3
Tag us in your post on social media or email the team, and we'll use our in-house marine debris experts and community to help you identify it. If you're using the AMDI app, make sure to enter the item as an "unspecified item" and include a photo.
