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 economies, particularly in coastal areas that lack the resources to manage debris effectively. The resolution acknowledges the ongoing efforts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other organizations in addressing this issue, noting significant amounts of debris have already been removed.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on the NOAA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide additional funding and to eliminate barriers that prevent tribes and rural communities from accessing these funds. It also urges the Alaska Congressional delegation to advocate for increased federal support for marine debris prevention, cleanup, and education initiatives. The resolution emphasizes the importance of collaboration among state agencies, coastal communities, tribes, and nonprofit organizations to tackle the challenges posed by marine debris effectively.
