This topic is linked to the science within the upcoming EMB Position Paper No. 28 'Navigating the Future VI', in which João is a co-author on the Ocean and Fresh Water chapter.
Dr João Frias is a marine scientist whose research interests focus on microplastic pollution and behaviour change. He is based at the Marine & Freshwater Research Centre of the Atlantic Technological University, on the West coast of Ireland, since 2017.
His contribution to the Navigating the Future VI report focussed on plastics, on the biofilm layer that forms when they are in the environment and on the impacts of plastic degradation on environmental health. His talk will cover those topics.
