I know this is the conservation/land use forum....but......Ocean/beach count in my book a related as I figure we all spend some time at the beach.
My wife is a biologist at a teaching university, where she has started this cool project that looks at what kind of microbes attach to floating plastic in the beaches. Research funding is hard to get especially for smaller institutions, so she has set up a fundraising page so she can set up a new sampling set in the fall. The idea is to find out if microbes affecting health could be attaching to plastic and therefore endangering coastal communities.
Any contribution is welcomed, we have $5-10 donors.
