Lizzie Carr soundbite on plastic pollution in Ocean

The video discusses the alarming issue of plastic pollution in waterways, highlighting the presence of both microplastics and larger plastic debris. The speaker outlines a plan to collect water samples every fourth mile using a net to analyze microplastics. Additionally, the speaker will document larger plastic pieces, especially in busy shipping lanes, by taking photos and geo-tagging them. These efforts aim to contribute to an existing map of plastic pollution created the previous year.
