Presented by Port Environment Centre.
In the lead up to Plastic Free July, many of us will be pondering over the big plastic problem & it’s descendant – the microplastic problem.
Join us online at 7pm on the 28th of June for a fascinating dive into the current microplastic research, trends and importantly – solutions.
The speakers:
Dr Michelle Blewitt (AUSMAP):Dr Blewitt, Program Director of AUSMAP, is a Marine Scientist, with over 30 years’ experience, with a passion for education, research and conservation. AUSMAP is the bridge between a massive problem and the solutions. It is designed to document and analyse microplastic pollution in Australian aquatic environments.
