Another fantastic day of citizen science on the beaches of South Cornwall.
These photos show exactly what the Big Microplastic Survey is all about—carefully collecting data, following a simple scientific method, and helping build a clearer picture of where microplastics are found and in what quantities. Every survey adds another piece to the puzzle. Together, thousands of surveys from around the world are helping us understand the abundance and distribution of microplastics on our beaches, providing valuable data for research, conservation, and future decision-making.
The best part is that you don’t need to be a scientist to make a genuine scientific contribution. Whether you can complete one survey or one hundred, your data matters. So next time you’re off to the beach, why not take the The Big Microplastic Survey with you? Spend some time collecting data, enjoy being outdoors, and become part of a growing global community helping us better understand one of the biggest environmental challenges facing our ocean.
