Science Sunday: Turning off the Tap on California’s Trash: Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Removal
Marine debris is one of the most widespread pollution problems facing the world’s ocean and waterways. Huge amounts of consumer plastics, lost fishing gear, and other items lead to untold impacts on marine species and their habitats - not to mention the socioeconomic impacts on coastal communities. With an estimated 8 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste entering the ocean every year, everyone has a role to play in stopping this problem at the source.
Join Sherry Lippiatt to learn more about this multifaceted problem, approaches to prevention, and the state of the science surrounding marine debris.
