THE Botanical Society of South Africa KZN Coastal Branch presents an illustrated presentation, Microplastics in Durban’s fish – Why should you know, on Monday, 30 January at the Durban Botanic Gardens Visitors Centre at 6pm.
The presentation will be by Dr Deborah Robertson-Andersson, senior lecturer in marine biology and co-supervisor of MACE Lab at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Many people have read about or seen the recent plastic pollution ending up on our beaches, but not everyone knows what happens to plastic products when they degrade. As a semi-tropical coastal city, Durban has a large plastic pollution problem, and this talk will illustrate the scale of the problem, why you should know about it, and perhaps start a conversation about how everyone make a difference.
Entrance including refreshments is R40 for members of BotSoc, R60 for visitors, and R30 for students with cards. All are welcome. Pay at the door.
Proceeds go to BotSoc branch projects.
There is no need to book. Contact botsoc-kzn@mweb.co.za, 031 201 5111 or 071 869 3693 for further information.
