Dr. Scott Wilson is Honourary Research Scientist at Macquarie University  and Senior Research Fellow at RMIT and has 25 years' experience as an ecotoxicologist and environmental scientist. Kiama Library welcomed Scott to tell us about microplastics and  AUSMAP, the Australian Microplastics Assessment Project, of which he is the research director. 

AUSMAP is a Citizen Science project which counts the number of microplastic particles that wash up on the edges of waterways in several locations around Australia. 

Scott was introduced by Karen Lang, who leads the local AUSMAP team, and the event was hosted by Michelle Hudson representing Kiama Library.
