Ocean Lovers Festival - Workshop - SCIENCE IN ACTION

OCEAN LOVERS FESTIVAL - Workshop - Science in Action

The Australian Microplastic Assessment Project (AUSMAP) invites you to join our engaging Science in Action workshop—a hands-on volunteering experience designed to educate and empower. 

Over two dynamic hours, the dedicated AUSMAP team will guide you through the global challenge of microplastic pollution and its presence in our everyday lives.

You'll then put your knowledge into action by sorting a locally collected AUSMAP microplastic sample. This careful sorting process not only deepens your understanding of microplastic contamination but also directly contributes to our ongoing research. Your efforts will feed into the AUSMAP national hotspot database, supporting meaningful scientific discoveries and influencing potential policy changes.

Be part of the movement making a real difference in the fight against microplastic pollution while gaining valuable skills and insights.

Workshop suitable for ages 15+.

WHEN: 3 pm - 5 pm Saturday 22nd March, 2025 (TBC)
