This citizen science activity examines the level of plastic contamination in specific areas of the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar Wetland. Student groups will work alongside a Micro-plastic Coordinator to conduct a survey of a local shoreline and analyze the plastic micro-fibers taken from the sand. These students will be the first to play a vital role in understanding the extent of microplastic contamination in the wetland. Samples will be analyzed by UWA and results presented back to class at Part2 of the program.

We acknowledge the Noongar people as Traditional Custodians of this land and pay our respects to all Elders past and present
