THE Botanical Society of South Africa KZN Coastal Branch will presents an illustrated presentation on Microplastics in Durban’s fish – Why should you know, on Monday 30 January from 6pm.
The talk is by Dr Deborah Robertson-Andersson, senior lecturer of marine biology and co-supervisor of MACE Lab at University of KwaZulu-Natal and is at the Durban Botanic Gardens Visitors Centre, John Zikhali Road (formerly Sydenham Road).
“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. This talk will illustrate the scale of the problem, why you should know and perhaps start a conversation about how we can all make a difference,” said Sandra Dell of the Botanical Society of South Africa’s KZN Coastal Branch
The entrance fee is R40 for BotSoc members, R30 for students with their student cards and R60 for non-members and includes refreshments.
