Partnership between UBC researchers, marine stewards and K’ómoks First Nation spawns new microplastics findings

Partnership between UBC researchers, marine stewards and K’ómoks First Nation spawns new microplastics findings

What they found helps illuminate the study of microplastics in the ocean, an area of pollution research that is garnering lots of attention due to the many unknowns about how these particles damage the health of organisms that ingest them.
