Si vous êtes à Paris…. Foncez !! Plongée en immersion dans le monde de l’art et de la science, bâti de toutes pièces par les dizaines d’artistes qui ont embarqué sur @TaraOcean_ . Special double crush pour @OHKOJIMA et @Ant1Bert1 avec qui j’ai eu la chance d’avoir le mal de mer

So sad. Every inshore plankton sample I collect contains microplastic pollution. Yesterday's sample was no exception. The body of this dinoflagellate is ~ 50 µm diameter (0.05 mm). The plastic microfibre is ~ 10 µm diameter. (A human hair is ~ 70 µm.) The shocking scale of it.
