Waterspirit's Microplastics Beach Survey

  • South Beach Area B Sandy Hook Parking Area B Highlands United States (map)

Join us on Fri, March 31, 2023 at 10:30 am as we monitor the beaches of Sandy Hook for Microplastics. Plastic pollution continues to enter our coastal waters and the list of wild animals affected by plastic debris is growing to include not only sea turtles, whales and seabirds, but shellfish and planktonic fish. Participants will join Waterspirit’s program manager, Anne Price, as she collects samples from the both South Beach and Kite Beach to be studied for microplastics. We will discuss what we are looking for, why we are monitoring, and what is done with the data.
