Dr. Annika Jahnke and researcher Robby Rynek bring Plastic Podcast aboard a Pacific research expedition from Vancouver to Singapore. They explain how scientists sample macroplastics and microplastics, why currents create shifting concentrations, and what surprising measurements reveal about Pacific Ocean plastic pollution. Rather than declaring one particle size the greater threat, the episode shows how different plastics move through marine environments and why better plastic pollution mapping is essential for research and policy.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode Guests:</strong>&nbsp;Dr. Annika Jahnke and Robby Rynek</p><p>Find a link to Dr. Annika Jahnke and Robby Rynek’s project <a href=\"https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=48342\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a></p><p>Find a link to Dr. Annika Jahnke and Robby Rynek’s article <a href=\"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.est.3c05039\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a></p><p><br></p><p>More information about the episode and the <a href=\"https://www.pineforestpods.com/pods/plastic-podcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Plastic Podcast</a></p><p>Episode <a href=\"https://www.pineforestpods.com/plastic-podcast-episodes\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Transcript </a>&nbsp;and more information on the <a href=\"http://pineforestpods.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pine Forest Media </a>Website</p><p>Follow Pine Forest Media on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/pineforestmedia/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@pineforestmedia</a></p><p>Hosted, produced, and edited by<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cj__marchese/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Clark Marchese&nbsp;</a></p><p>Cover art and PFM logo by<a href=\"https://laurelawong.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Laurel Wong</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Theme music by <a href=\"https://www.fiverr.com/tadeoceballos?source=gig_page\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tadeo Cabellos</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Pine Forest Media | Environmental Science Podcasts"}
