Fantastic that Prof. Richard C Thompson OBE FRS and @Idunr represented the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty at the high level event of the INC-2 of the Global Plastics Treaty. Honoured to be attending in Paris as a member of this fantastic group.

Great talks by Peter Thomson and Fabienne McLellan and others today during the marine side event of the INC-2. Key messages that the polluter must pay, and ALDFG must not be left out of the Global Plastics Treaty

I've been enjoying some of Singapore's amazing sights before the start of our #RaSPSEA meeting on plastic pollution in SE Asia. With Samantha Garrard, Dan Wilson, @BrendanGodley and Dr Zara Botterell from Plymouth Marine Lab and @ExeterMarine in the UK.

What happened at the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty meeting? What happens next? Our Dr Samatha Garrard (Samantha Garrard) was there earlier this month, and tells us all in this guest blog: pml.ac.uk/News/What-happ…

Thanks to The Conversation for giving me the opportunity to discuss our new study on the risk of land-sourced plastic pollution Plymouth Marine Lab James Clark Prof Nicola Beaumont

Fantastic to meet a diverse array of scientists and discuss real world problems at the socio-oceanography workshop 2024 at National Oceanography Centre , including whether community engagement can help solve the plastics problem




Honoured to take part (and even win a prize) in the former fellows 5 minute fellowship round today. As always, the #DJT2024 conference was amazing. So many inspiring talks and such an outstanding team behind the Daphne Jackson Trust ❤️ Daphne Jackson Trust Plymouth Marine Lab
