Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic waste end up in the ocean. From plastic bags to bottles, cigarette lighters to fishing nets and flip flops, the trash fouls beaches, kills seabirds and marine animals and creates vast garbage patches. In this episode, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty speak with scientist Denise Hardesty, a specialist in plastic pollution and illegal fishing at Australia’s national science agency. Dr Hardesty is a co-author of a recent study which calculated that there is about 14 million tonnes of microplastic waste at the bottom of the world’s oceans, showing nowhere is free from plastic pollution.
