Summer Lecture Series: Designing Plastic Out of the Ocean Economy feat. Abby Barrows
Join us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday, July 21 at 7:00pm for Designing Plastic Out of the Ocean Economy, featuring Abby Barrows, Principal Investigator for the Global Microplastics Initiative with Adventure Scientists and marine scientist, researcher, and oyster farmer.
After years documenting microplastic pollution worldwide, marine researcher Abigail Barrows turned her focus toward prevention. This talk traces the journey from measuring plastic contamination in marine ecosystems to redesigning aquaculture systems that eliminate plastic gear entirely. Featuring field-tested innovations from Maine oyster farms, the presentation explores how practical design changes can reduce pollution, protect marine life, and create more resilient coastal economies.
