Make sure you watch the Colbert Nation tonight 1/6/10 at 11:00 on Comedy Central. Charlie Moore from the Algalita Marine Research Foundation will be talking about his 10 year anniversary of studying plastic pollution in the marine environment as well as his 10,000 nautical mile research cruise in the North Pacific this summer. I was fortunate enough to be there for 3,460 NM of it. If you love the ocean, you will love Charlie Moore and his mission.

Also, Charlie Moore will be presenting at UNC Wilmington 8pm Thursday, 1/14/10 at the Lumina Theatre in the Fisher Student Center free and open to the public.
This blog shares the research experiences and findings conducted at University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW faculty and students) in conjunction with Plastic Ocean Project. Earlier posts share open-ocean sampling and adventures in the North and South Atlantic, the South Pacific and the North Pacific Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Outreach and education is the primary purposes to bring global awareness to an issue that has reached a crisis level in the marine environment.
