Pioneering Marine Debris Research ft. Jenna Karr of CMDR

"So often, when you think of scientists, you think they have all these concrete answers. But when it comes to plastic research, we have only answered this tiny percentage of what is really going on and there are still so many unknowns." We sat down with Jenna Karr with the Center of Marine Debris Research (CMDR) to learn about the ground breaking work being conducted in regards to plastic pollution. On this episode we discuss ghost nets and what they are made of, eco-anxiety, and the female dominated, Hawai'i-based lab that is literally pioneering the methods of marine debris research.  CMDR Resources: Website |  Twitter  |  Instagram   --- Follow us @theconservationistcollective & @sustainabilityandtheseapodcast Learn more on our website.
