If counting marine debris is the game, then we are all in, especially when the results are pushing us towards healthy oceans. In 2018 Dauphin Island Sea Lab found that nearly all ocean trash is plastic! http://fal.cn/iuNI

Ocean plastic is clumping! Microplastics are sticking together with the help of bacterial adhesives, making them look more and more like plankton and other fish food. http://fal.cn/iECs

Once a trail used by shipwreck survivors on the shores of Vancouver Island, the West Coast Trail is the pièce de résistance of wilderness hiking in Canada. However, even the most idyllic locations are saturated with marine debris. Take a look at the remote cleanup we completed while studying debris from the 2011 tsunami. http://fal.cn/rmWJ

Plastics aren’t the only toxic substance entering our waterways. When we use too much road salt, freshwater becomes too salty for wildlife. You can help keep our rivers and lakes healthy by being using less this winter. http://fal.cn/rDyv
