Saint John Harbour: Establishing a Baseline for Microplastic Levels

Blue and black fibres dominated every seawater sample collected in Saint John Harbour, and 94% of zooplankton taxa had ingested microlitter. That finding, from a multi-year survey by our researchers, establishes a critical baseline for microplastic levels in the Bay of Fundy. Notably, larval fish and *Calanus* copepods showed the highest encounter rates. This is empirical, local data, the kind needed to monitor change and assess ecological risk.
