HOLE, MA—Scientist Kara Lavender Law will discuss ocean plastics pollution, its impacts, and solutions at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

<b><span style="color:teal;text-decoration:none">Falmouth Forum season</span></b></a>.<br>
<br>
The free series is presented by the Friends of the MBL and offered as a cultural connection between the Marine Biological Laboratory and the Cape Cod community. Free parking is available in any MBL lot.<br>
<br>
Microplastics have become the focus of attention in the scientific community because of their documented prevalence in the environment (primarily marine and freshwater, but also terrestrial and as airborne particles). Plastic debris in the marine environment
poses risks to marine organisms and habitats, and results from human dependence on these materials without a strategy for end-of-use management. This apparent ubiquity, especially of plastic fibers, drives concern about the risks of microplastics to animals
that encounter them through ingestion and/or inhalation or gill uptake. Efforts to quantify the size of the problem and its impacts, as well as a toolbox of potential solutions will be discussed.<br>
<br>
Kara Lavender Law is a research professor at the Sea Education Association (SEA). Law studies plastic marine debris using SEA's 25-year data set. Her interests include understanding how ocean physics determines the distribution of plastic and other marine debris,
and the behavior and ultimate fate of different plastics exposed to the harsh ocean environment. She received her Ph.D. in physical oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#202020"><br>
