In this final episode of the four-part series Tracing Trash from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, we finally reach Newfoundland. Joined by Sydney Sullivan, Marine and Plastics Program Coordinator with the Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative (AHOI), we deep dive into the innovative solutions addressing plastic pollution from food packaging to the fishing industry. From Sydney's first-hand experiences, we learn about what is haunting the ocean, and how beauty is restored even after a major storm. Tune in as we explore the path ahead for AHOI and how each of us can raise our voice for ocean conservation—and act beyond the barriers and boxes we may find ourselves in!
