Description

Join the Nurdle Patrol. Participants will learn how to find nurdles which are small pieces of hard plastic found in our waterways. Nurdles are lentil-sized pieces of hard plastic that are the building blocks of many plastic products. The Nurdle Patrol is a citizen scientist project to document nurdles in waterways across the Gulf of Mexico. Nurdle Patrol participants will have a trained guide to help them find nurdles and collect data on where they are found. This data helps scientists keep plastic pollution out of our waterways. When: Saturday, January 30 from 9:00 am - 10:00 am Where: Fort Maurepas Park in Ocean Springs, MS What to bring: Mask, gloves, tweezers (nurdles are tiny!), and drinking water in a reusable bottle. Masks and social distancing required. Stay safe! This event is free and open to the public.
