DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><strong>MARINE NIGHT</strong> Microplastics in the Ocean: What We Know, and What We Don&rsquo;t.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Garth Covernton is a PhD student at the University of Victoria studying microplastics. Tiny pieces of plastics smaller than 5 mm are an emerging threat to the ocean&rsquo;s ecosystems, with ingestion now known to occur in animals ranging from small zooplankton to large baleen whales. Scientists have shown negative impacts on animals which ingest high concentrations.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>This presentation will explore how microplastics get into our oceans, their impacts on marine animals, and discuss current work in B.C.</p>
