The Moderns 900 Broadway, Suite 202 , New York, NY, United States

Microplastic particles are found in all oceanic gyres, bays, gulfs and seas worldwide.

Once in the environment, microplastics absorb persistent organic pollutants, and are consumed by a variety of marine life, including the fish we harvest for food.

Join the discussion on plastic pollution in our waterways and the serious impact it has on our oceanic ecosystem, and what is being done to stop it.
