Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
This study was conducted by the students of OCN496 in the fall of 2020. The goal of this study was to quantify the amount of microplastics in Humboldt Bay by observing its sediment and water column at specific locations during the tidal cycle. Additionally, we wanted to observe how tidal fluctuations impact the concentration and transport of microplastics in the water column.
