EGLE is proud to present the 2025 Great Lakes Microplastic Summit, a dynamic one-day, virtual event uniting scientists, professionals, policymakers, and community members to explore the growing impact of microplastics on our freshwater systems.
From cutting-edge research to real-world challenges, this summit dives into the latest knowledge on microplastics in surface water and drinking water. Through engaging presentations and interactive discussions, we'll explore four key areas:
- Where Do Microplastics Go? Understanding Their Movement in the Environment
- How Do We Detect Them? Advances in Microplastic Research Methods
- What Are the Risks? Impacts on Human and Environmental Health
- How Do They Interact? Microplastics and Other Contaminants
Whether you’re a researcher, environmental advocate, policymaker, or simply curious about the health of our waters, this summit offers a valuable opportunity to learn, connect, and collaborate. Join us as we advance the conversation on microplastics in the Great Lakes.
Registration for this inaugural event is free.
