How much plastic is in the Chesapeake Bay?  
What does it mean for the Bay's health & ours? 
 
Tonight! Tuesday, Oct. 13   
7 - 8:30 p.m.  
Annapolis Maritime Museum


Join Trash Free Maryland and Annapolis Green for a presentation on plastic pollution in our local waters.

The recent 15-day Chesapeake Bay Trash Trawl found plastic in all 60 samples collected throughout the Maryland portion of the Bay.

Find out what this means for public health, the health of the Bay, and what can you do about this toxic pollution that has already entered the world food chain.

Speakers:
  • Julie Lawson, Trash Free Maryland
  • Maryland Delegate Clarence Lam, M.D. (D-12)
  • Stiv Wilson, The Story of Stuff Project
  • Long-distance ocean sailors Matt Rutherford & Dee Smith
The issue of plastic marine debris was so shocking to sailors during the last Volvo Ocean Race that a three-hour summit on the issue was held during the Newport stopover this summer. But the plastic you can't see - from microbeads to photo-degraded plankton-size particles is even more dangerous as marine life mistakes it for food.
 
Learn more about how plastics move from littering our streets to contaminating the fish on our dinner plates.

Free admission. Donations to Annapolis Green and Trash Free Maryland are most appreciated.

Sponsored by St. Andrew's Day School of Annapolis & the Annapolis Community Foundation.
