Two exciting new @FloridaSeaGrant projects are coming to Orlando and Miami-Dade County! We look forward to working with @OurOcean & @dfoceans to help protect our oceans.
#SeaGrant announces $27M for #MarineDebris removal and prevention projects across the nation! Learn how these projects bring together #science & #communities for solutions that work: bit.ly/MarineDebris24 #PlasticFreeJuly
ALT Ghost nets pose an entanglement threat to all the wildlife found in Papahānaumokuākea. They will continue to destroy coral reefs and entangle wildlife until they are removed from the habitat. Native seabirds like the Laysan albatross (mōlī) and Black-footed albatross (kaʻupu) are heavily impacted by marine debris. Marine debris also impacts Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu) and endangered native species like the Hawaiian monk seal (ʻIlio holo I ka uaua) and Laysan duck (koloa pohaka).

PLASTIC FREE JULY challenges all of us to reduce our consumption of single-use plastics. In Miami @noaa funded #PlasticFreeCities a program that trains students to hit up local businesses & encourage them to ditch plastic service items for greener biodegradable options. (1-2)

🔬 "Human cells exposed to microplastic particles in lab testing have shown evidence of cell damage and death, says Erica Cirino, author of the book Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis. In addition, Cirino says, scientists 'are racing to understand whether microplastics are linked to the rising incidence of cancers, especially cancers of the gastrointestinal system, particularly in younger people.'”

This past weekend’s #Baynanza @MiamiDadeCounty annual clean up of #BiscayneBay yielded 17 TONS OF TRASH collected! 😱 According to recent study #MiamiDade residents produce 8 lbs of trash per day. The national average is 5lbs. Why are we so trashy, Miami?!

Another octopus from the great Lego spill of 1997 has just turned up! It was found today by 13-year-old Liutauras on the shores of the ancient Cornish market town of Marazion and is one of 4,200 Lego octopuses lost to the sea 27 years ago. Many thanks to Vytautas Cemolonskas for the pictures.

A reminder that our work here is not done! As plastic production continues to skyrocket, plastic already in the environment keeps breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces.
In 2024, we will continue working to reduce the harm of plastic pollution on people & planet.

Solutions to plastic pollution exist. We need to #refill, #reuse, #repair, share, and enact & enforce legislation that holds the plastics and petrochemical industries accountable for the pollution they have created. 🌎 ♾️ 🌱 #PlasticPollutes youtube.com/watch?v=itzwzoUD…
