Microplastics are showing up everywhere, including in the food we eat. In this episode, Andy Keller talks with Abby Barrows, marine debris researcher and co founder of Deer Isle Oyster Co, about what she has learned from years of global microplastics sampling with Adventure Scientists and why plastic is such a complicated part of aquaculture and wild fisheries. Abby gets real about what the data actually shows, why “just recycle” is not a plan, and how we can reduce plastic without falling into perfectionism.
What you’ll hear:
• What microplastics are, why microfibers show up in most samples, and how they move through air and water
• Why the open ocean and polar regions can act like sinks for microplastics
• The hidden plastic problem in oyster farming gear, and what “plastic free aquaculture” could look like
• Practical ways to cut plastic that actually add up, from reusables to speaking up for policy change
• Why oysters matter for clean water, coastal communities, and the future of food
