Waterspirit's Microplastics Beach Survey Fall 2024

  • Snug Harbor Beach 22 Snug Harbor Ave Highlands, NJ, 07732 United States (map)

Join us on Thursday, Sept 19 at 3:30 pm as we monitor the beaches of Snug Harbor in Highlands, NJ 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 beach near the Highlands Borough Community Center to be studied for microplastics. We will discuss what we are looking for, why we are monitoring, and what is done with the data. Registration required
