Did you know that by 2050, the plastic in our oceans could outweigh all fish in the sea? 

As consumers, we are forced to interact with plastic and microplastic on a daily basis. Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Lara Pinheiro will take you on a walk to the beach to share the impacts of plastic pollution to our marine and coastal ecosystems and the efforts that are being made in reducing plastic pollution in our oceans. 

This event is part of FUTURES, a FREE festival of discovery for all ages where you can explore the past, create the present and imagine the future. Agile Rabbit is delivering this event on behalf of the University of Exeter, celebrating and highlighting its vibrant, fascinating, and impactful research.

Meet outside the Cornish Bank. This is an approximately 1 h walk – please bring sensible clothing and footwear.
