I plan on analyzing microplastic abundance and composition in the water and sediment of six oyster beds across the  San Francisco Bay Area. Seasonal differences in microplastic abundance and composition will be evaluated as well as differences in dry and wet weather conditions. Potential sources of microplastic contamination will also be examined.
