Working towards a plastics-free Galapagos
Part of a wider goal of ridding the Galapagos Islands of plastic, a team of scientists is trying to ascertain how much and where waste plastic is on the islands. They are investigating the amount of plastic fish are ingesting, as well as conducting a beach survey project in an effort to prioritise conservation efforts. Juan Pablo Muñoz leads the plastics project for the Galapagos Science Centre.
