Join the Nature Conservancy on February 17 at 10:00 a.m. as the University of Delaware’s Jon Cohen will highlight what he is finding in his sampling of microplastics in Delaware’s waters, followed by Delaware Sea Grant’s Kate Flemming giving a review of different textile fabric types, and how that relates to what you might see on your clothing tag. The presentation will conclude with a discussion about what the science tells us in terms of laundry practices and fiber shedding.
