Environmental education and understanding nature experience were examined using marine debris in teacher training university. In this study, based on stranded mollusks research, mass stranding of paper nautilus and appeareace of warm-water taxa indicate an anomalous increase in sea surface temperatures and recent global warming. The leaflet and the handbook, which explained marine debris, were made and it was utilized as material of student's field research guidance and teacher's license renewal course.
