Calendar Jun 18, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 1 week

Did you know that there are trillions of pieces of plastic trash floating in our oceans? Or that this staggering number continues to grow as people continue mismanaging their waste? Much of the plastic floats at the ocean’s surface in areas like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, where currents diverge.The rest of this errant trash can be found as microfibers floating throughout the depths of our oceans. These tiny plastic particles are a great concern for our environment and our health, as microplastics have even found their way into the human bloodstream. Join ecomaine for this special presentation about the future of ocean plastics. We’ll learn how we can minimize our own pollution, no matter where we live or visit, and what technologies can help clean up the growing problem of plastics in our oceans. Please pre-register as a minimum of 4 people is required to run the course.
