Building a sustainable future for #Canada, mitigating the harm of #climatechange & meeting our #carbon targets will require continued investment in ocean research. This feature article was released in collaboration with National Post & Mediaplanet Canada🌊 innovatingcanada.ca/environment/ou…
“There’s a whole community right underneath where the ice is melting,” says Healthy Earth NGO,a #microplastics researcher at Ocean Frontier Institute & coauthor of the new paper. The sinking algae is a kind of conveyor belt of food to benthic creatures like sea cucumbers & brittlestars.

Just released: new research on microplastics in Arctic algae.🟢 "We think that the water passes through the algae strings. So it's probably acting as a bit of a filter for the plastics,” says Steve Allen, one of our researchers who co-authored the paper: theweathernetwork.com/en/news/climat…
