Microplastics In Oceanic Environments | How Are They Impacting Ecosystems & Organisms?

05/29/23 • 39 min

In this episode, we are joined by Elise Granek, a Professor of Environmental Science in the Department of Environmental Science and Management at Portland State University. Elise’s research primarily focuses on applied coastal ecology – specifically looking at the transition zone between land and sea.

Elise and her team are on a mission to conserve the marine community, ecosystem processes, and biodiversity by conducting applied research relevant to management and policy. By analyzing emerging contaminants (such as microplastics), Elise is dedicated to finding out how land activities affect coastal and marine ecosystems...

Offer: Magnesium is integral for 600+ biochemical processes in the human body. The common misconception is that consuming more magnesium will automatically improve health and well-being. The truth is that there are various forms of magnesium, each of which is essential for a variety of physiological processes. Most people are inadequate in all forms of magnesium, while even those considered "healthy" typically only ingest 1 or 2 kinds. Consuming all 7 of magnesium's primary forms is the key to accessing all its health benefits.That’s why we packed 7 forms of 450mg of elemental magnesium into each serving of Wild Mag Complex.
