    Woohoo, I'm very interested in your results Samson! It will be informative to better understand the presence of microplastics in Winyah Bay and how their presence affects the many animals that call the region home.

    Yes, of course! Thanks Bryan. The results of this study will be especially helpful to compare microplastic locations to animal/organism habitat locations in Winyah Bay! This will further microplastic research by getting down to the point of who is specifically impacted and why in a particular area.
