This is HUGE!!!🤯 Today the @CaWaterBoards posted a report detailing the world's FIRST regulatory evaluation of a waterbody (San Francisco Bay) being potentially impaired due to #microplastics. The Board will hold a hearing on the matter on March 21st. waterboards.ca.gov/water_iss…

#microplastics folks working with fibers, how do you quantify fibers from degrading facemask like this 👇🏿in the environment?

Oregon Sea Grant's Amy Ehrhart has created an online guide to aquaculture in Oregon. You'll find a map of aquaculture operations in the state along with information about oysters, dulse seaweed, tilapia, white sturgeon, salmonids & warm-water fish. bit.ly/ORaquaculture

Excited to be presenting at the Columbia River Basin #Microplastic workshop today and that Oregon is starting to pay more attention to MPs in freshwater. @pnwmicroplastic @ACE_Lab_PSU – at Oregon, USA

Just discovered that Twitter is a thing in Academia… 1 day after reviving my account, I’ve learned about relevant grant opportunities and identified a journal to submit to. Now I’m wondering why setting up an account isn’t part of grad school orientation?! @PhDVoice #gradschool

Cool save the planet and win money opportunity! caseagrant.ucsd.edu/funding/… Seagrass researchers: You should propose building seagrass beds to trap marine debris for easy collection + CO2 sequestration +buffering natural disasters + mitigating coastal erosion+ habitat! just saying...
Never thought I'd be a coauthor of a #plasticpollution #microplastics & #microfiber textbook! Grateful to hold in my hands the final product of so much work by myself & the other chapter coauthors @plasticslayer @smbrander @micropaulstics @DraPanchote in @ACE_Lab_PSU

Not gonna lie, I was pretty starstruck seeing @Leahtommi talk last week. Her positivity is inspiring and her book gives tools to tackle oppression and environmental problems at once 💫 highly recommend giving it a read! And support a local bookstore like @thirdeyebag!
