The resolution expresses strong support for federal, state, and local initiatives aimed at cleaning up and removing marine debris from Alaska's extensive shorelines, which are vital for the state's economy and communities. It highlights the detrimental effects of marine debris on wildlife, habitats, and local industries such as fishing and tourism, emphasizing that many affected communities did not contribute to the problem. The resolution calls for increased funding and support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to facilitate cleanup efforts, particularly for tribes and rural communities that face challenges in accessing these resources.

Additionally, the resolution urges the Alaska Congressional delegation to advocate for enhanced federal funding and support for marine debris prevention, cleanup, removal, and education. It encourages collaboration among state agencies, coastal communities, tribes, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector to effectively address the marine debris issue impacting Alaska's shorelines. The resolution aims to ensure a clean and healthy ocean environment, which is essential for the sustainability of Alaskan lifestyles and economies.
