@PflaumNathan no matter the country, we all play a role in pollution - that being said, we all need to be more conscious of what we use and how we use it.

@emily_marine not to mention that they aren’t reproducing as they used to. The warmer waters has lead to a dramatic decrease in their reproduction cycle. The quicker we try to resolve global warming, the quicker we will be able to save these beautiful and critical marine animals.

My group has been working on solar radiation management for our project - this type of earth cooling method will definitely be a BIG controversial discussion within the next 5-10 years. #marenvs19

A garbage truck's-worth of #plastic ends up in the ocean every minute, and an estimated 17.6 billion pounds of plastic leaks into the marine environment from land-based sources every year.
