International Joint Commission's Great Lakes Science Advisory Board: Microplastics in the Great Lakes

Microplastics are present in all five of the Great Lakes, but there is no coordinated, basinwide effort to monitor and report on the status of plastic pollution. In a new report, the International Joint Commission (IJC)’s Great Lakes Science Advisory Board proposes regional coordination to systematically measure Great Lakes microplastics.

The board is hosting a one-hour public webinar on the report’s findings at 1 p.m. (ET) Wednesday, February 12, 2025. Experts from the work group will summarize the report and answer audience questions.

Advanced registration is required for this free public webinar via the event ZOOM page.
