Microplastics In The Salish Sea: Breaking It Down
Show Notes

Microplastics, tiny particles of plastics, unfortunately abound in our oceans and waterways, and seem to be everywhere. In the marine environment, these microplastics accumulate and work their way up the food chain to top consumers, including humans. Dr. Lyda Harris, a Sustainability and Conservation Scientist at Boeing, will discuss this issue here in the Salish Sea, how big of a problem it really is locally, health effects and impacts to marine life, innovative solutions to the problem, and how we can help!
