@Zebrazuli @WamssMeeting @EdemMahu @VLIZnews @POGO_Ocean @UnivofGh @UNOceanDecade @NGeografic Yes, what a fruitful morning discussion! And what a beautiful performance we had this morning :) @WamssMeeting #WAMSS2023

[#PLASTICPUNCH @PlasticPunchGH]

#PlasticPunch joined the Plastics and Policy team at #COESSING 2023 for their field trip, transect sampling to understand macro to microplastics using @collect_ocean protocol, and patrolling for #nurdles

[COLLECT_CoastalLitter @COLLECT_Ocean]

.@COESSING participants just presented their very interesting results on plastic particles observations in beach sediments! And they used the #COLLECT protocol for microplastics extraction! Well done, excellent work! @WamssMeeting @EdemMahu @NiomrLagos @UnivofGh @POGO_Ocean

[COLLECT_CoastalLitter @COLLECT_Ocean]

#COLLECT will be presenting its work at the @WamssMeeting to talk about science engagement with school students! Looking forward to seeing everyone! @UnivofGh @VLIZnews @POGO_Ocean @Zebrazuli @EdemMahu
