Join us for a project that involves cleaning beaches and logging what people collect so we can collect data on the marine plastics in Newfoundland! Volunteers (all ages welcome!) are invited to clean up Topsail Beach, log the items, and we’ll interview some of you before and after the cleanup to see what you've learned. The training and cleaning would take about 3 hours maximum, though people are welcome to drop in and out. Please RSVP so we can estimate supplies. FB event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1026925077328483/

Reseachers at MUN (contact info below) will provide training, supplies, and final data to participants. Rain date: 11/8, same time and place.

Dr. Max Liboiron, Department of Sociology, MUN, mliborion@mun.ca.
