Trawling for Microplastics in the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia

Greenpeace staff conduct micro plastic trawls in the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia, part of the Atlantic Coast tour. Greenpeace’s historic Arctic Sunrise was in Norfolk, Virginia as it continues a month long tour along the Atlantic Coast highlighting threats to our oceans and climate. The tour focus is on the urgent issue of single-use plastics and microplastics in our waters, and the need to protect our coasts and climate from seismic blasting and offshore oil drilling.
