The Marine Plastic Problem: A brief dive into understanding and resolving society’s plastic waste issue | All Swell?

Eva sits down with two guests this week to discuss ocean plastic, its impacts, and how to tackle this environmental hurdle. Adam Frederick is the Assistant Director for Education at Maryland Sea Grant; he discusses his work in hands-on science curricula that raises awareness of microplastic pollution in classrooms from Baltimore County to European coasts. Demi Fox is the Northeast Regional Coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Marine Debris Program, which tackles plastic issues on a large range of scales, from microplastics to ghost fishing gear debris.  Tune in to hear about why plastic pollution is an increasingly salient topic and what you can do in your everyday life to lessen your contribution to it.
