Microplastics have been observed around the globe, and in this panel, three industry professionals will share how they are mitigating this contaminant in their communities. From a local perspective, attendees will learn about work being done around Lake Tahoe, where microplastics have been observed. This has raised concerns from the scientific and management communities in the Tahoe Basin on how to address microplastic pollution in Lake Tahoe. From groups turning scientific information into management priorities to research studies highlighting pervasiveness of plastic pollution in Lake Tahoe, this panel will share ideas on observing and mitigating microplastics in bodies of water. From there, the panel will travel to the Midwest and hear how the city of Springfield, Missouri, is handling the evolution of microplastics, especially as they relate to stormwater. From collecting stormwater samples to evaluating the efficacy of SCMs, the city is implementing various avenues of research to tackle microplastics. Join the panelists to learn how you can manage and mitigate microplastics in your community.
