Our polar regions are often considered to be pristine untouched waters, largely due their remoteness and lack of civilization, yet both the Arctic and Antarctica are subject to local pollution from tourism, fishing and research activities. On today’s episode, we sit down with Sarah Reed, ships ops manager and technician at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, to chat about her recent paper on microplastics in marine sediments near Rothera Research Station, Antarctica.
