While our current plastic forecast looks stormy, a future UN plastic treaty is being negotiated right now, that could change the global forecast forever!​ Head to plasticforecast.com to find out how you can help us #ChangeThePlasticForecast

Old ocean plastic that is very degraded and biofouled represents a major recycling challenge particularly in #SIDs (let alone a major risk to ecosystems due to rafting invasive species) - a threat we see in #Galapagos Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions Galapagos Conservation Trust AOSIS #INC2 #PlasticsTreaty

Vice Minister of Marine and Coastal Affairs of the Dominican Republic - #Styrofoam is a major pollutant, clean ups needed every 3-4 days. Alternatives are too expensive, help is needed for vulnerable people who cannot afford them #INC2 #PlasticsTreat

The GGGI, Ambassador Meza-Cuadra, AOSIS & GRULAC supported by Chile agree that addressing sea-based sources of #plasticpollution like #ghostgear as core obligations of the #plasticstreaty is critical to building a truly robust instrument — HannahPragnellRaasch Ocean Conservancy #INC2

Introducing Alberto the Waved Albatross, the third book in our series of #GalapagosJourneys. We need your support to give at least 500 copies to educators in Galapagos and inspire the next generation of conservationists: bit.ly/AlbertoStorybo… #WorldAlbatrossDay 📷©Lisa Brown

We're halfway through our 'Alberto the Waved Albatross' crowdfunder and are thrilled to announce that we've raised £1,705! As a thank you, here is a sneak peek of a two-page spread from the book! bit.ly/AlbertoStorybo… #GalapagosJourney 📷 © Lisa Brown

'Our Planet II' hit our screens earlier this month with shocking footage of a Laysan albatross chick choking on plastic. Our 'Alberto the Waved Albatross' storybook highlights the threat of plastic pollution and how we can combat it! bit.ly/AlbertoStorybo… 📷© Sai Pathmanathan

TWO DAYS TO GO! Thank you to everyone that has donated - the £2,065 raised will help us inspire the next generation of conservationists across Galapagos! Help deliver 500 'Alberto the Waved Albatross' storybooks to educators in Galapagos! bit.ly/AlbertoStorybo… 📷 © Lisa Brown

With less than 24 hours to go on our crowdfunder, we’ve already raised £2,245! This is incredible, but we’d love to find another 20 people to sponsor a book in #Galapagos for £20! bit.ly/AlbertoStorybo… #GalapagosJourney 📷 © Lisa Brown

This weekend I was in Falmouth for the FUTURES telling people about our research at Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions. Always nice to show our work to lots of very interested people! Thanks @Agile_Rabbit for the invite. 🥰 #sciencetosolutions

On the second day of #INC3 negotiations for a #PlasticsTreaty–while contact groups continue until the evening–here are #BreakFreeFromPlastic highs ✅ lows ❌from the plenary and events today:

NEW PAPER ALERT ‼️ Here we discuss different sampling methods for #microplastics in seawater in the Galapagos. Check it out open-access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Great work lead by Katie Deakin and @ExeterMarine Exeter Biosciences Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions Galapagos Conservation Trust

As the latest round of #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations get underway in Ottawa, we're proud to see the work of GCT and the Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions network featured today in The @Guardian. theguardian.com/environment/20…
