Workshop agenda includes an introduction to Weeks Bay Reserve and boat trip on the bay, an overview of marine debris and current marine debris projects in the Gulf, hands-on analysis of water samples to view microplastics, and information on citizen science monitoring of microplastics in the Gulf.
This workshop is free and open to all groups; however, because of the boat trip, we ask participants be high school age and above.
