Congratulations Rick - a very impactful film. Evidence of harm from microplastics has come a long way since 2004! Surely there is now more than enough evidence for delegates to mandate a strong, legally binding Plastics Treaty - a once in a planet opportunity - here at #INC4 !

Great to have such a strong @plymuni team at #INC4 , collective expertise on all aspects of plastic pollution including microplastics & tyre wear particles; & evaluation potential solutions such as clean-up technology, microfiber capture, plastics described as biodegradable

Scientists from the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty are in Ottawa at #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty negotiations to support delegates with robust independent #science . Come find us!

So pleased our 🇩🇪 Minister for the Environment SteffiLemke took the time to come to #INC4 in Ottawa to highlight the importance of the global #PlasticsTreaty
and made time to speak to the German Delegation!

Great rap song by Dizzy Senze & Baba Brinkmann summarizing the morning session of the Partnership day and motivating delegates to negotiate an effective #PlasticsTreaty at INC4!

Arrived Ottawa for INC4 plastic treaty negotiations. One of 5 official observers from ⁦University of Plymouth⁩. The message in arrivals hall for member state delegates is spot on! Plastic pollution occurs right a long the supply chain - We have a once in a planet opportunity to end it!

Come and join us later today @OceanDecade in Barcelona to find out more on our ⁦UK Research and Innovation⁩ GCRF project ⁦PISCES⁩ ⁦University of Plymouth⁩

Such a great team and collaboration between the Marine Research Plymouth partners for the UN Ocean Decade here at the #oceandecade24 with the global ocean community to celebrate achievements & set joint priorities for the future of the Decade.

Delighted to see ⁦⁦Radisti Praptiwi⁩ presenting her work on the ⁦University of Plymouth⁩ Blue Communities GCRF project alongside Ambassador ⁦Peter Thomson⁩ introducing the UN Ocean Decade Blue Paper in Barcelona ⁦UK Research and Innovation⁩

For those of you attending #oceandecade24 please join us tomorrow to find out more about our ⁦University of Plymouth⁩ research as part of ⁦PISCES⁩ ⁦Dr Max Kelly⁩

The UN Ocean Decade conference gets underway. This landmark gathering of the ocean community is a chance to share knowledge and perspectives, but most importantly it is an opportunity to catalyze the action we so desperately need.

As part of the #oceandecade24 meeting it is great see ⁦University of Plymouth⁩ and ⁦Plymouth Marine Lab⁩ leading the way with the launch of a global network on light pollution - GOALANN

Fantastic to be in Barcelona at #oceandecade24 hearing talks from past & present ⁦University of Plymouth⁩ students. My reusable ⁦SETAC bag on the floor gives away my age, but our oceans are in good hands with the next scientific generation ⁦⁦Dr Imogen Napper⁩ ⁦Kizzy Beaumont⁩

While I am a big fan of ⁦EU @EU #EU Tweeting for Charity!⁦EU @EU #EU Tweeting for Charity!_MARE⁩ ⁩ I was pleased to hear ⁦Dr Imogen Napper⁩ put keynote speaker Kestutis Sadauskas back on track ‘we cannot rely robots cleaning the ocean of plastic’ this kind of techno optimism is a distraction that brings false hope!

Great to hear ⁦Dr Imogen Napper⁩ Napper presenting in plenary #oceandecade24 Barcelona, describing some of her solutions focused research to tackle the release of microfibres from clothing ⁦University of Plymouth⁩
