Final grades for Fall 2019 have been submitted, and while the courses may be over the research continues on. Dr. Krejci was asked to contribute to a proposal seeking to develop new FTIR technologies. Zooplankton samples collected from the Gamble Rogers State Park in the Matanzas/Halifax River have shown high levels of microplastic filaments. In one milliliter of preserved zooplankton, there can be over 5 threads of filaments, some covered in biofouling.
