Plastic Pollution Discovery Across Chesapeake Bay
18 million people along the Chesapeake Bay are unaware of how big the plastic pollution in the bay has gotten. Woodard & Curran Foundation sponsored the local non-profit Ocean Research Project (ORP) to make their impact, to set sail and address the distribution and abundance of microplastic pollution across 15 environmentally monitored regions. Sailentist, Nicole Trenholm lead the science team, she is motivated for a future where we can monitor and score plastic pollution in future watershed report cards and to help EPA define pollution thresholds and reduction goals. Captain Matthew Rutherford helped her transform the SRV Marie Tharp for optimal microplastic sampling and low-carbon operations under sail. Together they spearheaded the exploration to unravel the truth about severity of bay-wide microplastic pollution while results provoke further questions. Please support their continued work in microplastic pollution monitoring. www.oceanresearchproject.com
