VIU's Ecological Interactions Research Program and the Regional District of Nanaimo present a FREE screening of A Plastic Ocean.

A Plastic Ocean documents the newest science, proving how plastics, once they enter the oceans, break up into small particulates that enter the food chain, where they attract toxins like a magnet. These toxins are stored in seafood’s fatty tissues, and eventually consumed by us. Screening is followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with microplastics researchers and a member of the RDN. https://www.facebook.com/events/292505534503504/?ti=icl
