Microplastic: A possible rising tide of plastic affecting an oyster's filtration

Tsz Yee (Phoebe) Pang was a Year 12 student Menai High School, Sydney in 2019. Phoebe is fascinated by the ocean and loves sea food, which led to her project that investigated the effects of microplastics on an oyster’s niche functioning of cleaning our waters. Her project sought to expose the issue of increasing microplastic pollution and allow for solutions. Phoebe is optimistic that solutions to problems, from personal to global level, can be found.
