So exciting to see Canada releasing a ban on single use plastics. As learned in class, plastics are harmful to marine life, our oceans and even ourselves. #marenvs20
Environment Canada to release data today supporting ban on most single-use plastics. In 2016, 3.3 million tonnes of plastic ended up in the trash in Canada - 12 times the amount of plastic that was recycled. https://t.co/o75QAg3uey
Once again I've witnessed the tragedy of plankton eating microplastics. This is the bottom of the food chain. We have no idea what the long-term effects are for the marine environment or ultimately, human health @zeiss_micro
https://t.co/vhF8cUoO58 After our field trip today, I was researching about snails and came across this article about the great African snail. It is becoming a threat to Australian agriculture. #marenvs20
It was really interesting to learn about how without vegetation sand dunes would be more likely to spread apart and further into the land on our field trip today. I really enjoyed the hands on experience we get in this class! #marenvs20
There is no strong, resilient Australia without deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
261 scientists have signed an open letter calling on our country’s leaders and policymakers to develop science-informed policies to combat human-caused #ClimateChange. https://t.co/ffWZmFNOo8
Seabirds are affected by the heat warming due to climate change. It is becoming more difficult for them to hunt as fish are dying or moving to colder waters https://t.co/YyRE1ps6j6
If you want some positive stories you should check out this article. e.g. Costa Rica with its economy still growing, was able to derive 98% of its electricity from renewable sources. #marenvs20

Now that plastic straws are banned, it's natural that Vancouver takes the next step at reducing the number of single-use plastics! #marenvs20
B.C. preps packaging changes that could include ban on plastic bags https://t.co/dGFONCBXlE
Today in class we learned about the difference on how terrestrials and marine animals feed. Large terrestrial animals feed on large animals whereas large marine animals feed on small marine life (exception anteater) #marenvs20
Learning about the importance of sustainable fishing practices made me wonder what's being done in Vancouver. Glad to see that there is a free and easy to use app that educates the public! #marenvs20
Sustainable Seafood -- there's an iPhone App for that https://t.co/tOiCubllhr
When I went food shopping with my friend
@danielleBazzoc1, I made sure she bought Skipjack tuna that came from a sustainable stock and was properly labeled! #marenvs20

Storm Brendan causes mass escape of farmed salmon in Hebridean waters. High risk for the native marine environment & wildlife. How do you clean up?

Each time we visit the marine environment, we have the wonderful opportunity to encounter wildlife. However, the unfortunate potential to harm our marine life and resources exists with every visit. https://t.co/WNjyGIxOQq
