Honored to see our collaborative project, Forever Plastics, featured in @SUNY Brockport's revival of The Spectrum! This was a campus-wide effort to raise awareness on #plasticpollution in the #GreatLakes. Grateful to all who helped!

Coral spawning last night in Curacao was crazy-go-nuts

Here's endangered O. faveolata (Mountainous star coral) spawning Day 6 after the full moon, 3 hrs 26 mins after sunset... in other words, right on schedule.

Finally, thanks to @A4GL for helping us recruit volunteers, advertising the event, and sending us supplies. Your dedication to healthy Great Lakes is inspiring!

Today Plastic Lakes Project volunteers collected 162 lbs of trash from Ontario Beach Park. We had our largest turnout yet with ~70 volunteers. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make our waterways cleaner, healthier, and safer! #plasticpollution #greatlakes #CitizenScience

Stay tuned for a #documentary early next year about #plasticpollution in the #greatlakes and what you can do about it! Footage from today's #CleanUp will be featured.

PRECIOUS BOND: An orphaned melon-headed whale calf was recently adopted by a bottlenose dolphin who treated the calf like her own.

It's easy to see how sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. Learn about the plastic pollution crisis facing our oceans: https://t.co/1XloV2SUSE #BreakFreeFromPlastic

There are approximately 5 trillion plastic pieces in the oceans weighing 250,000 metric tons. It's time to #BreakFreeFromPlastic. Sign the pledge: https://t.co/6NdUOScARu

This is a roaring glacial melt, under the bridge to Kangerlussiauq, Greenland where it's 22C today and Danish officials say 12 billions tons of ice melted in 24 hours, yesterday.

[Tammy Bleier @TammyBleier]

Well, it's safe to say we've got #microplastics - and these are just the visible ones! After microscopy we'll know how many pieces are on this filter. How many do you think there are? #plasticpollution #GreatLakes #LakeOntario #gradschool

Sperm whales are consuming alarming amounts of plastics. It's time to #BreakFreeFromPlastic, before it's too late. Sign the pledge: https://t.co/sWL6ovH5Ze #WhaleWednesday
