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:

  1. Where Do Microplastics Go? Understanding Their Movement in the Environment
  2. How Do We Detect Them? Advances in Microplastic Research Methods
  3. What Are the Risks? Impacts on Human and Environmental Health
  4. 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.
