Microplastics are a pervasive and preventable threat to aquatic ecosystems. The San Francisco Estuary Institute and 5 Gyres have completed a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive regional study of microplastic pollution of a major urban estuary and adjacent ocean environment.

Join scientists, policy makers, and change leaders for a day of data-driven recommendations and solutions to microplastic pollution. Get actionable scientific information, tools, and recommendations to aid your efforts to reduce plastic pollution in the Bay Area, California, and around the globe.
