Breakfast Briefing: Microplastics 5 Years Later
June 3 at 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Great Swamp Watershed Association HQ
It’s been 7 years since GSWA conducted our first microplastics sampling study and 5 years since New Jersey passed the “Get Past Plastics” legislation aimed at reducing our reliance on single-use plastics. Are you curious if it’s made an impact? We certainly were, so we gathered our team and re-sampled the same 10 sites from our 2018 study.
Join Sandra LaVigne, GSWA’s Director of Water Quality Programs, as she reveals the findings of our 2025 microplastics sampling study, shedding light on what effects, if any, these plastic reduction laws have made in our local water. Sandra will also offer practical solutions for all of us to consider adopting to help keep our waterways clean. Enjoy a light breakfast prior to the start of the presentation.
