The Wildlife Impact Calculator, developed by Ocean Conservancy, is built on research supported by the Wayne Hollomon Price Foundation. This work advances scientific models that measure the risks plastic pollution poses to marine wildlife, particularly through ingestion.

By translating this research into an accessible tool, the calculator allows users to estimate how cleanup efforts may help reduce harm to marine species. From plastic bags to food containers, even small amounts of debris can have significant consequences for ocean ecosystems.

This tool is designed to connect individual action with measurable environmental impact, helping volunteers, organizations, and communities better understand the value of removing plastic waste from our oceans and coastlines.
