Plastic often grabs the headlines and its pervasiveness in the natural environment, including the deep ocean, is both highly visible and alarming. But plastic is far from being the only anthropogenic pollutant impacting the most pristine and inaccessible parts of the ocean. In this webinar, experts addressed the different types of pollutants impacting open and deep-ocean marine life, how they reach the deepest parts of the ocean and what is being done to address the issue from a regulatory perspective. There were also be case studies presented from around the world demonstrating how pollution and debris in the deep ocean has tangible impacts on marine life. Details of speakers can be found below the video.
