Charles Moore, Founder of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation (AMRF), will explore the consequences of our society's profligate waste over the last half century and how it is showing up in the ocean's food web from the smallest marine animals to the largest cetaceans. He will explain the unexpected longevity of our waste in the marine environment, how it threatens the ocean's biodiversity, and what we must do to change the tide of trash inundating our shores.
