SHORE Webinar: Let's talk about the Baltic! Part4

This webinar focused on plastic pollution on the Baltic Sea, featuring specialists Dr. Tomasz Kijewski and Aleksandra Koroza from the Climate and Ocean Education Laboratory at the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Sopot. The event was hosted by Izabela Kotyńska-Zielińska, founder of @todaywehave and an Ocean Literacy Educator and Communicator.

Scientists estimate that around 80% of all plastic in the ocean comes from land! But how much plastic is really out there? What types of plastic float, sink, or hide in the sand? And how on Earth do we measure it?

To find out, researchers collect samples from beaches, seawater, ice, and even marine animals. Using special nets, microscopes, and chemical tools, they track down tiny pieces called microplastics — smaller than a grain of rice! These invisible fragments tell a big story about how our daily choices affect the ocean.
