Ocean Microplastics Explained
As we wrap up sampling in the waters off of Maine, Dr. Chris Dupont discusses how collections of plastic particles in the water 鈥� or 鈥減lastisphere鈥� 鈥� may be harboring fish or human pathogens. There may also be microbes responsible for degrading plastic, which are being investigated.
Dr. Dupont's work on microplastics is a continuation of 小蓝俱乐部's Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) program.
