On this episode of The Plasticology Project Podcast I speak with Peter Puskic. Peter is a PhD student at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania. Peter’s work is focussed on understanding the physiological impacts of plastic ingestion on organisms. By studying marine birds, primarily shearwaters, Peter has made some startling discoveries about just how much plastic is out there in the marine environment, and what impact this is having on marine life. I caught up with Peter from the research institute in Hobart, Tasmania.
