The research of Dr Sherri Mason, Chemistry, is poised at the forefront of research on plastic pollution within freshwater ecosystems, in general, and the Great Lakes, more specifically. SUNY Fredonia lies 2 miles from the shores of Lake Erie, one of the 5 Great Lakes, which in total comprise the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world. In collaboration with the 5 Gyres Institute, we conducted the first-ever survey for plastic pollution within the open-waters of the Great Lakes. http://alumni.fredonia.edu/Magazine/SearchArticles/tabid/188/ctl/ArticleView/mid/608/articleId/356/SUNY-Fredonia-leads-the-first-ever-survey-of-Plastic-Pollution-in-the-Great-Lakes.aspx
