Interested in #microplastics in freshwater ecosystems? My student @G_DAvignon published a review of the significance of microplastics to limnology: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/pdf/10.113…. We suggest limnologists should integrate microplastics ("plaston") into their standard sampling protocols.

Today, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will publish its latest #ClimateReport. 270 scientists from 67 countries will identify how #ClimateChange impacts people and ecosystems. 🗣️ "But wait a minute, what is the #IPCC?" Find out below 👇 IPCC | #COP26

The latest #IPCC report is asking us to act and adapt. Restored and maintained wetland ecosystems are humanity's ultimate buffer against the increasing droughts, floods and storms that are exacerbated by climate change. Join us in safeguarding and restoring wetlands.

In this edition of #NRFScienceMatters: A team of researchers from SAIAB recently studied how invasive freshwater crayfish can affect the inland fisheries and native species. Full article: bit.ly/3irVpW3
