Jordan (UR) The Feeble Oyster vs the Mighty Microplastic Cont.

      For my IRP, it seems that there have been a few studies done on the impact of microplastics upon the reproductive systems of oysters, along with the study of cultured oysters and the impact of microplastics from run off into those closed systems. Other than those two there doesn't really seem to be that many, that are related directly to the study of microplastics in oysters, and marine bivalves in general. That's all the information I could find on the subject. Now if I can do my project on how to cook oysters, that's a different game to play.

  1. Hmmmmm....I just did a Google search and found quite a bit of information on the presence of plastics in oysters. I would encourage you to spend a little more time researching your project. It would also be helpful if you started thinking about the materials and methods you will be using--and what is your scientific question. Seems you have much to do here...
