Where is all the missing plastic? New research suggests plastic may be retained in coastal waters up to decades before reaching the open ocean. The majority of microplastic in the open ocean was likely produced in or before the 90s! #POplasticscience go.nature.com/2kDutsf

such a fantastic project where community NGO @N_Rivers_Trust delivers #naturalcapital to protect precious chalk streams. Lets see what these #wetlands can do to stop #microplastics pollution & improve water quality. Great commitment from @AnglianWater to #AMP7 to deliver more!

Thank you @AnglianWater for the tour of the Ingoldisthorpe wetland, created with @N_Rivers_Trust to clean up sewage water before it joins the River Ingold. Really great to see. @NaturalEngland we look forward to helping more of this happen as part of the Nature Recovery Network.

I am delighted to share that the Florida Gulf Coast is now a @MissionBlue Hope Spot! A big blue salute to the champions in Florida. This place has special meaning to me because as a kid I fell in love with the ocean right there in Dunedin. #HopeSpots mission-blue.org/2019/08/new…

Painful to look at, but important to share nonetheless. It's not just a bottle you're throwing away... it's a life.
