Millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year. And the trash stays there: Whether it’s grocery bags or water bottles or kids’ toys, plastic is practically indestructible. When people think of plastic endangering the ocean, they usually picture fish or other marine animals. However, plastic is causing a lot of diseases to our coral reefs. This Earth Day 2019 come join UCI BioSci students and other Earth lovers to learn how you can help bring relief to our coral reefs! The event is hosted by Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor Joleah Lamb, Ph.D and is open to the public.
