Hi, my name is Alissa! I’m a marine biology master’s student at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi studying the effects of photodegraded plastics on the early life stages of a marine fish model species! I am also an avid wildlife and nature photographer that is passionate about marine conservation! 🌊🦀🐚
A rare non-bird post from me! Currently missing the Pacific, so I’m reminiscing on this photo I took of a beautiful humpback whale in Oregon two summers ago! 🩵🐋 #marinebiology #wildlifephotography

A good part of my job is to read extremely concerning studies in order to compose cross-sectional view of What's At Stake and work out ways to engage stakeholders
This is, without hyperbole, the most concerning thing I have read in a long time www.scientificamerican.com/article/micr...

Microplastics Are Messing with Photosynthesis in Plants
Microplastics can cut a plant’s ability to photosynthesize by up to 12 percent, new research shows

New study shows that 73% of #DeepSea decapods had ingested #microplastics, mostly fibers (91%). Catalan specimens had significantly more MPs than Sardinian ones. A. antennatus had the highest MP load in the Catalan area, Nephrops was the most contaminated decapod in Sardinia.
