In the winter of 2014, Sherri “Sam” Mason, a chemist at the State University of New York at Fredonia, sent two of her undergraduate students out to the shore of Lake Erie near campus to volunteer to fillet the fish that sport fisherman caught.

They were hunting for tiny particles of plastic that Mason and other researchers have shown are abundant in the waters of the Great Lakes. | |||
