Troubled Waters: How Microplastics Are Impacting Our Oceans and Our Health

Troubled Waters: How Microplastics Are Impacting Our Ocean and Our Health, will dive into the growing crisis of microplastic pollution and what we can do about it. Join us for a fascinating discussion with the people working at the front lines of this issue: Dr. Britta Baechler (Director of Ocean Plastics Research for Ocean Conservancy), Christy Leavitt (Plastics Campaign Director at Oceana), Emily Penn (ocean advocate and skipper), and moderator Madeline Kaufman (Program Director at Debris Free Oceans).

We’ll cover how microplastics have littered marine ecosystems and are impacting the health of wildlife, with potential human health consequences as well. We’ll also cover what we can do—individually and collectively—to address this insidious environmental challenge.
