Speaking: Alexandria Sletten, University of Alaska Fairbanks
The Strait Science Series lectures are presented by UAF Northwest Campus and Alaska Sea Grant to promote understanding between citizens of the Bering Strait region and the researchers who frequent the Seward Peninsula.
Microplastics are tiny plastic waste found across oceans and eaten by many marine organisms. The stomachs of spotted seals harvested for subsistence near Gambell and Shishmaref during 2012 and 2020 were examined for microplastics. Come learn the results of microplastics in seals between locations, years, and ages. Do different prey types determine the amount of microplastics eaten?
Alexandria Sletten is a master’s candidate with the UAF Marine Biology program and works for ADF&G.
