Microplastics in the Sea

During a research visit to Indonesia, AQUEIS members Christian Lott and Miriam Weber were invited to participate in a seminar on “Microplastics in the Sea” at Sam Ratulangi University in Manado. Miriam presented “Plastic Microparticles in Marine Habitats – Extent, Examples and Possible Actions” and Christian gave a talk about “Studies on the Degradation of Bioplastics in the Ocean”. The seminar ended with a lively discussion and intense exchange between the participants. A national workshop is planned in November 2017. AQUEIS thanks for the engagement and wishes further good cooperation.
