Chewing gum is plastic pollution, not a litter problem
The reality is that chewing gum is just another form of plastic pollution, but it is not treated as such.

A great weekend at the UK Go Diving Show talking about marine ecology alongside brilliant PhD researchers from University of Portsmouth, Georgia and Kelsey. An opportunity for some wonderful interaction with a diving audience that has a vested interest in preserving the ocean.

I find it interesting how there is a total disconnect at times between related marine issues. Articles about the presence of microplastics in bivalves are published separately to those about increasing consumption of shellfish.

Popular in Victorian times, they are sustainable, a good source of protein and brilliant for biodiversity, say those championing the bivalves
