The Nurdle Patrol: Spreading Awareness of Plastic Pellets with Jace Tunnell

Inspired by the special exhibition RARE AIR, Jace Tunnell, from the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University, will discuss the impact and implications of microplastic pellets known as nurdles. Tunnell is the founder of a citizen science project called Nurdle Patrol that tracks plastic pellet concentrations internationally and produces a video series called Beachcombing about items washing up along the Gulf beaches.
