Plastics in the Ocean - Curiosity or Concern? Come learn about plastics in the ocean with a lecture by Dr. Joel Baker, Science Director at Center for Urban Waters in Tacoma. Microscopic fragments are floating in the ocean and washing up on shores, but the exact consequences for marine organisms are still unknown. Do microplastics pose harm to organisms when ingested? What happens when microplastics enter the food chain? Come find out how his research is approaching these questions. Wednesday, October 19th, 7pm to 9pm. WET Science Center, 500 Adams Street NE, Olympia. For more information, contact Melanie Kincaid/SS Estuary Association 360-918-8708 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
