MARINE CONSERVATION: Marine Plastic citizen science projects

Beach clean-ups and microplastics are not news anymore - we have a chat with Nike Steiger from @WhiteSpotPirates and In-Mocean about the best ways to avoid plastic, how much there really is, and how everyone can help out and become part of the solution to a global plastic crisis. Everything from microplastic sampling to making your own baskets out of the trash, that can be found on beaches is covered.
