Good news: we can use satellites to find marine litter! Bad news: there's a lot of it. By using @CopernicusEU satellites currently in orbit, researchers managed to acquire an unprecedented view of the emissions and accumulation areas of marine litter. europa.eu/!xxpPDd

Oysters feed by filtering water, simultaneously removing pollutants One healthy oyster can filter 50 gallons(150litres) of water daily, In this hour and half time-lapse you see the water cleared of microscopic algae present in toxic ‘red tides’ 1/2
