He is part of the research group Guafo Island Science and studies the effects of macro and microplastic pollution on marine mammals and other marine vertebrates.  Dive in to an untouched world of marine wonders and meet one of the scientists who can’t wait to share his passion about this magical place in the Pacific.    Links Check out the website of Guafo Island Science: http://www.guafoislandscience.com/ Interested in volunteering or doing a research project with them?
