An Inquiring Minds public lecture by Professor Carlos M. Duarte, Director of The UWA Oceans Institute.
The ocean is the ultimate sink for plastic pollution, impacting marine life from tiny copepods to whales. The finding of an accumulation of plastic debris floating in the NW Pacific alerted the public to the accumulation of plastic in areas of the ocean with particular oceanographic dynamics. This triggered interest in mapping the abundance of floating plastic debris in the ocean.
This lecture will present the first results of a global survey of plastic pollution in the ocean along with the ensuing insights on the fate of plastic pollution in the ocean.
