Bioplastics with higher potential toxicity, oxidative stress, and endocrine disruption than conventional polymers. Nice presentation from Lisa Zimmermann's research today at #SETACHelsinki on whether this would really be a safer alternative. #microplastics
Looking forward to the result of this #plasticpollution myth busting.

Finally have time to look at our #plasticpollution myth busting excersise. Together, we have collected 42 factoids! Try to sort now. Thanks @anjakrieger, @TimVanEmmerik, @AmieLusher, @WinzlyColton, @JambeckResearch, @BCarneyAlmroth, @saverygo, @MarineSteph, @gundogdu_sedat0 et al
After 3-years the so called biodegradable plastics bags still carry a full load. What does it mean biodegradable? #BeatPlasticPollution #uspmarine1 #ms312
Delighted to see our 3-year study published https://t.co/S2NNnkYsLI.
@Imogennapper examines environmental deterioration (or lack of it) of degradable, biodegradable, compostable and conventional plastic bags. Some bags hold a full load of shopping after 3 years in the sea!
#SMSstudents in the Rewa River collecting sediment and kai (freshwater mussel) for their #MS312 research project. They will be comparing micoplastics concentrations in samples collected up river from Nausori Town, with those samples obtained down river. ๐ท: @FijiJasha #TeamUSP
A must read @uspmarine1 students.
Global warming impairs stock-recruitment dynamics of corals.

Vanuatu: 2nd phase of single-use plastic ban, effective 1 Dec 2019, items:
* Mesh net & styrofoam trays for retail vegetable packaging
* Single use plastic cutlery & plates
* Single use plastic and styrofoam cups
* Single use stirrers
* Plastic egg cartons
* Plastic flowers
Nice colourful #plastic. Looking forward to see your final results. @The_ACU @uspmarine1 @UniSouthPacific @USPresearch #ms312 #SMSstudents #teamSMS #TeamUSP
My largest piece of #microplastic found in fish guts to date. This was found inside a Fijian coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus). It measures over 6mm, so technically isnโt even micro (microplastics are less than 5mm). #plasticpollution @The_ACU @MartaSsFerreira @BronGillanders
Great projects on #marinepollution #ms312. We are all @uspmarine1 looking forward to see the results.

We've got more #MS312 student research groups collecting samples. These groups will be investigating microplastics in beach sand; comparing the leeward & windward sides of Sandbank Cay in Laucala Bay (Suva, Fiji). ๐ท:J.Vuiyasawa

Our Marine Pollution class #MS312 has started group research projects! Here are our researchers in training, collecting samples for their research on faecal coliform contamination via rivers into Suva harbour & Laucala Bay (Suva, Fiji). #TeamUSP #TeamSMS ๐ท @FijiJasha
"Plastic pollution โ or more accurately the response of governments and industry to addressing plastic pollution โ provides a โconvenient truthโ thatย distracts from addressing the real environmental threatsย such as climate change." #uspmarine1 #ms312
The big picture is often hard to see. Biodiversity and Climate Change are the ones we need to scream about rather than just plastic. #uspmarine1 https://t.co/ARcLLOyljW
When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.
#TeamSMS is also running classes at the @UniSouthPacific #Tonga campus this semester. This week our #MS312 Marine Pollution cohort conducted their coastal sediment & microplastics practical. We now have data from another
Pacific island country other than Fiji! ๐ธ: @FijiJasha
Our #marinepollution students #ms312 @uspmarine1 working on coastal sediment quality and #microplastics. Practical experiences to foster learning.
It's teaching Week 4 @UniSouthPacific! Our Marine Pollution class #MS312, is working on coastal sediment quality & #microplastics. What better way to look at how our island coastal areas are affected by pollution than at the USP foreshore, our own backyard! #TeamUSP #SMSstudents

A Thai beach was packed with litter.
But look what happened after a few months without humans!
A great BBC story on how nature and wildlife recover.
Proud to be part of this panel. Talking about the work done by our students @uspmarine1 and the role of @UniSouthPacific in the education of the future leaders of the Pacific towards the reduction of #marinelitter. #CommonwealthLitterProg #ms312 #uspmarine1
Regional responses key to #Pacific #cleanoceans

We must not be distracted. Our oceans are facing several other threats #marinepollution #ms312 #uspmarine1 #BeatPlasticPollution

Always remember that your science is exciting @uspmarine postgrad students. Tell your story. #uspmarine1 #ms312 #teamUSP https://t.co/axJxD9EsDn
