Our environment is facing a new challenge: microplastics.

A lot of this material is found in our waterways, and researchers are working hard at identifying where they come from and how we can mitigate this problem before it gets worse.

In this episode, Dr. Skaggs talks about:

• His role at The Pontchartrain Conservancy.
• The importance of improving waterways for future generations.
• How microplastics are revealing themselves in nature, and what The Pontchartrain Conservancy is doing to combat them.
