Plastic Pollution Awareness Program Launches in 2008
PTMSC has received a Public Participation Grant from the Department of Ecology to conduct a broadly scoped plastics education program. The grant has many components including educating youth and communities on the Olympic Peninsula as well as all over Puget Sound. We’ll conduct a Sound-wide beach sampling project, we’ll develop a traveling exhibit for Puget Sound communities and we’ll work with Cinamon Moffett in her study of gull diets, trying to determine if and how much plastic is being ingested by gulls nesting on Protection Island.
