Megan Grant is a PhD candidate at the University of Tasmania and AdrfitLab. We had so much fun chatting to Megan last year, that she just had to come back and tell us about the first journal paper from her PhD research which looks at how the flesh-footed shearwater is taking plastic from the ocean and depositing it on Lord Howe Island - at staggering quantities. This is another fascinating chat with Megan and a reminder of the need to beat plastic pollution.
