    Cool to see you guys getting some hands-on work and speaking with people in the field to learn a little more about the impact of micro-plastics. Excited to hear more about some of those interactions that you have on the horizon.

Day 1

Today we gathered data from working on multiple beaches and gathered lots of scattered plastics and random items from the beaches we worked on, we also contacted a few professionals on the study of micro plastics and got meetings set up for the next week. The beaches that we went to were not very populated but we were able to grab multiple fishing nets scattered from fishing boats, random plastics that people left at the beach, and a load of plastic bottles and cans. The first beach we went to we covered the whole beach which took us close to 2 and a half hours, the second beach that we traveled to was an extremely large beach but by the time we got there it was closed so we had the whole beach to ourselves because we just informed the worker that we were cleaning it for a school project. This beach we weren't able to cover the whole thing because of how long it was so we plan on going back another time during this week or next, we cleaned this beach for 3 hours. I forgot to mentio...

week 1 reflection

 This week, Sam and I were traveling a lot to go meet up with people we reached out to months back and we also stayed local this week a couple of days and did some fishing and also did some beach cleaning. On Monday, Sam and I didn't have anything scheduled so we decided to go to numerous different beaches and clean up the beaches, specifically looking for plastics and fishing nets, which we were successful with. At the end of the day we gathered a lot of trash, separated the trash into separate piles to show the diversity, and then took a video of it for our blog. The next day, Tuesday, we went to the store and bought fishing gear, after about an hour we went to the ocean off a spot Sams mother recommended and attempted to catch a fish for about 2-3 hours, that didn't end up working out very well so we went to a different spot and tried there for about 2 more hours and had no luck at all. Later that night we went out and went fishing one more time at a place near Sams house an...

Week 2, day 2

Image
 For day 2 Sam and I set off to Newport Rhode Island for a nationally broadcasted boat race, the reason we went to this boat race is because of one of our mentors, Jen Mccann, told us to come when we visited URI. So once we got there, there was a whole festival going on with food trucks, exotic cars on display ( which sam and I found very intriguing ), helly hanson shops because it was sponsored by them, and then more massive shops for the boat racing. We were able to see the boats that were docked and didn’t get to see any thay were coming in, which would’ve been really cool because they are super large sailboats that are modified to go extremely fast to the point where they hover over the water. it’s actually incredible. Anyways the whole reason Jen invited us was because all the ships during the race ( I should mention that these ships go around the world in the span on a few months, and newport was just a destination ) these ships during the race all have a purpose for the envi...
