Help Map Marine Debris Along the Delaware River
Join Spearhead Project Earth and help collect real environmental data through NOAA’s Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project (MDMAP). Volunteers help document the types, amounts, and locations of debris found along the Delaware River using standardized NOAA protocols.
In 2025, our team completed 11 monitoring events, documented 1,452 debris items, and trained 12 community scientists.
No experience is necessary. We’ll provide the training and tools you need to take part.
Volunteer to help expand community science and environmental monitoring throughout the Delaware River watershed.
Location: Palmyra Cove Nature Park
1335 Route 73 Palmyra, NJ 08065

Additional dates will continue beyond the summer season.
