The biggest likely source of microplastics in California coastal waters? Our car tires
Driving is not just an air pollution and climate change problem — turns out, it just might be the largest contributor of microplastics in California coastal waters.
“No one had looked at all the water rushing off the streets during rainfall events to see whether that had plastics in it...That makes all that driving we do something to think about, not just in the Bay Area, but any setting where there are cars.”
“...It’s about individual behavior change, it’s about more corporate responsibility. Together, we can make a big change.”

In March 2023 I visited the #River Skell, #Yorkshire. This composite #photograph combines three views of the river and its #catchment: the narrow wooded valley of Spa Gill; the pebbled river base at Hell Wath just outside #Ripon; and the designed #landscape of Eavestone #lake. I hope you like it. #Winter #colour #arch #bridge

Microplastics: Australian lake among world’s most polluted in landmark study.
Some of the worst affected lakes had concentrations higher than those around vast garbage patches that have formed in the sea.

"Unlicensed dams can 'severely compromise the environment
Advocates say the Moorabool River in Victoria's west is facing a deepening crisis, with a reported 218 new private dams appearing in the catchment since 2012. The government should be embarrassed it took a volunteer community group to expose such a vast problem."

Endangered Manning River turtle hatchlings spotted in #NSW after four years of surveying. The Australian #turtle lives only in the middle and upper reaches of the Manning River catchment, near Taree, on New South Wales' #MidNorthCoast.

One of the important parts of #AGU22 is the opportunity it provides to foster collaborations. Monday evening's Town Hall meeting convened by USGS-based Jamie Shanley, who is also a Big Data Cluster collaborator, was designed to do just that.
Conveners brought together the #catchment community to brainstorm ways to expand the source and quality of data and outline future workshops to expanding knowledge of these watersheds.
