We are almost 50%!

Dear all our backers, we are almost there! We almost reached 50% of our funding goal and not much is still missing! Either all or nothing, so we really your help by sharing this project to your network and reach the remaining 1700$ for a successful experiment! So far we have materials to make micro plastics, flow-cytometry, nutrients analysis and almost all carbon analysis. I still believe we can make it! Many thanks to all our supporters

About This Project

Our oceans are full of microplastics with potentially massive impacts on our marine environments. This research focuses on an unsuspected effect: do microplastics influence climate change? Our laboratory results suggest that microplastics may modify the microbial dynamics of carbon and oxygen. We want to further explore it in mesocosms, where large volumes of enclosed seawater can be examined under controlled and simulated conditions, like a “future” plastic ocean.
