Lyle UR I Got a barrel full of Plastic

Hey there again! I was back in the l was back in the lab again this week and got some more great results. This oyster was from my third site that i got samples from. This oyster was smaller than the last one at 2 grams but the results weren't to shabby. Last weeks oyster weighing 4 grams produced 12 micro fibers and this week an oyster weighing 2 grams had 9 micro fibers
in it. That is a 4.5 micro fibers per gram. I still used the same methods that I have been doing since I started. The cool thing about this oyster is that most of the micro fibers that I found were red in color unlike most of the others had a blue or green micro fiber inside of them.
I am finding most of the micro fibers within the gills of the oyster. With that being said I don't know if the fibers are being processed and going through the digestion track. Next week being spring break I will either be out on the water doing more research or enjoying bike week, either way im going to enjoy my time away from school and relax a little bit.
