If you look for our trash, derelict fishing gear and microplastic in any aquatic environment, you will find it. This pollution is nearly ubiquitous and making its way through the marine and human food web – and onto our plates and into our bodies. National Geographic Explorer and Explorers Club Fellow Rachael Z. Miller is working to keep both macro and microplastic out of our public waterways.

Learn about Rozalia Project’s solutions-oriented programs, Rachael and her team’s work in developing the Cora Ball, a consumer-scale solution to microfiber pollution, pioneering marine-debris-related educational programs, widely cited scientific work and CSI for the Ocean, a global citizen science microplastic mapping and monitoring program. She will leave you with actions everyone can take to protect our precious freshwater lakes and rivers and the one, big ocean toward which they flow.
