Make sure you get out onto your local shoreline one more time before the winter arrives. The snow and salt that comes with winter can turn large pieces of plastic into smaller, more easily ingested plastics, or #microplastics, through the colder months. These tiny plastics enter the ocean with runoff in the spring.
