New paper about the prevalence of microplastics in Peruvian mangrove sediments and edible mangrove species! I'm infinitely grateful to Prof. Tamara Galloway Prof Pennie Lindeque @SciMatty Sara Purca Plymouth Marine Lab Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions @ExeterMarine Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Instituto del Mar del Perú - IMARPE Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iZr4,asi9sOB

New study from Hayley McIlwraith shows that microplastic shape is important when being trapped in coastal wetlands 🌱 Fibres were intercepted by the vegetation canopy ⬇️ However, fragments and and flakes were deposited in the sediment

Proud to share this new study led by Hayley Mcilwraith (Hayley McIlwraith) - PhD student with ourselves and UEA, which has found that the shape of microplastics influences their trapping in coastal habitats. Read the full story here: pml.ac.uk/News/Microplas…

Excited to be at #MICRO2024 presenting my PhD work and soaking up the sunshine in #Lanzarote ☀️ Come find me at my poster outside the Meadows room or in Walking Talk group #20. Plymouth Marine Lab @ARIES_DTP UEA School of Environmental Sciences

Some fantastic talks at #Micro2024 from the #PlymouthMarine team. #Exetermarine

Just gave my first talk at #MICRO2024 Having a great time in lanzarote listening to talks and making new connections ☀️ Thank you for all the support and everyone who attended!
