I am delighted to share that the Florida Gulf Coast is now a Mission Blue Hope Spot! A big blue salute to the champions in Florida. This place has special meaning to me because as a kid I fell in love with the ocean right there in Dunedin. #HopeSpots mission-blue.org/2019/08/newly-…

such a fantastic project where community NGO Norfolk Rivers Trust delivers #naturalcapital to protect precious chalk streams. Lets see what these #wetlands can do to stop #microplastics pollution & improve water quality. Great commitment from Anglian Water to #AMP7 to deliver more!

Where is all the missing plastic? New research suggests plastic may be retained in coastal waters up to decades before reaching the open ocean. The majority of microplastic in the open ocean was likely produced in or before the 90s! #POplasticscience go.nature.com/2kDutsf
