Over 600 pieces of #litter in 300m2 collected today, our highest density yet at Neist Point.
Carrying this up the cliff was no small feat, a great effort from the whole team today! Tom Stanton Dr Nicholas Midgley Dr Catherine Sanders #beachclean #marineconservation #skye

While it doesn’t look like we shifted much, we cleared and surveyed 65kg of litter today… 40kg of which was fishing rope! Such a shame to see these beautiful places so impacted by #litter @DrTStanton Deirdre McKay Antonia Law #beachclean #skye
Head nets out today, braving the midges at beautiful Dunvegan beach. Fascinating to see completely different litter - lots of glass and cermaics! Followed by some floor-based labwork back at camp #beachclean #litter Antonia Law Dr Melissa Duncan-Schiele Tom Stanton Savannah Worne Deirdre McKay
Today we took some water samples from different depths at Ainort sea loch and found cotton fibres at 10m depth!
Well worth the paddle out to collect these today @DrTStanton Savannah Worne Loughborough Geography and Environment mcconks sup🏄💦🤘 #litter #skye #marineconservation #microfibre #microplastic #scotland
The IMPACT+ team are at the TextileExchange conference this week. We are keen to discuss environmental impact measures, tools standards and certifications. Come and see us! Kelly Sheridan Dr Alana M James Tom Stanton
Another dream team of researchers all across Loughborough University assembled last night for more Pint of Science UK antics! #pint23

A study led by Loughborough Geography and Environment researcher @DrTStanton found that plastic is the most common item littering our hedgerows and waterways.
The research team analysed 43,187 items of litter found across the UK – here’s what they discovered: bit.ly/3BRbJth

A happy #limnologist with her first fellowship core from Rutland Water Nature Reserve. A huge thank you to Tom Stanton, Ginnie Panizzo and Tim Sexton for their help in collecting and extruding these yesterday! #paleo #environment #reconstruction #algae #pigments
Filtering fun and jellyfish today at Neist Point beach, the most westerly place in #Skye . Loving working in these amazingly beautiful landscapes, even if lugging collected litter up the cliffs is hard work! #beachclean #marineconservation Antonia Law Tom Stanton
