We are excited to announce that Registration and Call for Abstracts is now open for the 7th Annual Texas Plastic Pollution Symposium. Abstracts due by February 28, 2025. Submit abstract and register here: https://texasplasticpollutionsymposium.com/
The symposium will be held in-person at the Houston Zoo in Houston, Texas on April 3, 2025. This year we will have a one-day research symposium, including a poster session, and a social the evening of April 2nd. We will have student stipends again this year for students traveling further than 50 miles away and presenting their research. Thanks to a grant received by the Nurdle Patrol project from the Matagorda Bay Mitigation Trust, the event will be free again this year. It will be a great opportunity to collaborate with other researchers studying plastics and a way for us all to connect about the future of plastic research in Texas and beyond.
The planning committee for this event includes representatives from the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, Houston Zoo, Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program, UTMSI, Mission-Aransas NERR, Surfrider Foundation-Coastal Bend Chapter, Black Cat GIS, Texas Master Naturalist, and Houston Galveston Area Council.
