We’ll be learning about and conducting “nurdle patrols” to find and document plastics on
our beaches and adding our data to the map (see https://nurdlepatrol.org/map). There’ll
be informational tables from MSU Extension Agents about how we study microplastics,
how microplastics impact the marine environment, and how we can reduce our everyday use of plastic.
