Using the Narragansett Bay (Rhode Island, USA) as a case area, @victoria_fulfer & @jp_walsh reveal that estuaries serve as significant filters for plastic pollution and this may have negative consequences for these ecosystems nature.com/articles/s4159…
A new URI study found significant #microplastics pollution in #RhodeIsland's #NarragansettBay, with more than 1,000 tons of along the bay floor. Researchers say we have opportunities to "make actionable change for the bay and our entire coastal system." uri.edu/news/2023/08/n…
A first-of-its-kind @UniversityofRI study on microplastics in Narragansett Bay found “extensive” microplastic storage along the top 2 inches of the Narragansett Bay’s seafloor. The study was published in @SciReports earlier this summer. trib.al/TSfzuig
Worried about #plasticpollution ? I know I am. Particularly after findings by @URIPlastics in Rhode Island - they found microplastics in the human brain (pictured) & detected cognitive disfunctions in mice exposed to the same particles. Check out: mdpi.com/2416384 @EU_ENV
Check it out. I saw Dr. Ross speak about some of this work this spring, and it was by far one of the most captivating (Ahem, terrifying) presentations I’ve seen.
Hot off the press! @universityofri's Dr. Jaime Ross (@JaimeMRoss_PhD) & her team have published their latest findings on how microplastics might impact behavior in the brain via young and old mice: bit.ly/44VVFDs #plastics #neuroscience #research
Listen to Dr. Koty Sharp on one of our local coral species, Astrangia poculata! The @myrwu faculty member spoke at our Global Plastics Forum @universityofri in May about coral and plastic pollution: bit.ly/3KyTfCt #plastics #coral #Astrangia

As a visiting scientist at the United Kingdom’s @NOCnews, @universityofri #URIGSO doctoral student @victoria_fulfer is playing a key role in #microplastics research by analyzing samples collected by two boats participating in @theoceanrace. Here, with #URIGSO @URICRC @jp_walsh:
Every minute, the equivalent of 1 garbage truck of plastics is dumped into the ocean. To protect the ocean and preserve all life that depends on it, we must channel our collective efforts to #BeatPlasticPollution. See what action you can take: bit.ly/PlasticSolutio…
