Many thanks to Beach Watchers Kate D. for getting us going on the poster and to Jan for doing research and compiling a notebook of sources for citations on the poster. And huge kudos to our in-classroom team of Andi and Mary Jo (presenters) and Deanna and Jaya (helpers) and to the rest of the crew who put in many hours behind the scenes including Denny, Meredith, Karl, LaVaugh and Lori. We are indebted to Karen at Jefferson County Public Health for creating and maintaining such a strong partnership over the past year and to Jen K and the gang at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center for bring the issue of plastic in the ocean to the forefront.
