Ocean Conservancy is a non-profit organization with over 500,000 members that coordinate an International Coastal Cleanup effort every September. During this cleanup, thousands of volunteers count the amount of debris and trash that are collected from lakes, rivers, streams and oceans documenting the experience through photos and data. Previously, this information was uploaded via email or FTP to Ocean Conservancy from the event which was then eventually given to the media that covered the story. Ocean Conservancy also hired outside photographers from Aurora Photography to catalog and take pictures of the cleanup efforts and those photos would also be added to the system.
