Bianca Keys is an honours student and Karli Mylius is completing her Master of Science, with both ladies involved in projects at Adrift Lab, Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania. This is the third conversation we’ve had with members of the brilliant Adrift Lab team, discussing plastics and their impact on marine life – in particular seabirds and shorebirds.
Bianca and Karli cover a lot in this conversation and provide us with a really good insight into just how multifaceted and complex this issue is.
In this episode we discuss:
• Bianca and Karli’s respective backgrounds and their similar full-circle journeys to where they are now with Adrift Lab
• The benefits of working with Adrift Lab as students
• Bianca and Karli’s respective projects with Adrift Lab, focusing on plastics in sea and shorebirds
• The difference between seabirds and shorebirds and how the various species are exposed to plastics
• Why birds ingest such large quantities of plastics in the first place
• Marine life exposure to nano and microplastics and why this matters to us as humans
• The surprising number of plastic particles that have been identified in seabird guano and how it then ends up in the environment
• Future plans for both Bianca and Karli including upcoming publications
• And a lot more!
