In this conversation, Dr. Todd Votteler, Principal of Collaborative Water Resolution and Editor-in-Chief of Texas+Water and the Texas Water Journal, talks with Jace Tunnell, Director of Community Engagement at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, about his work using digital outreach to combat plastic pollution and promote conservation along the Texas Coast.
Jace is the founder of a citizen science project called Nurdle Patrol that tracks plastic pellet concentrations internationally to create awareness of plastics in the ocean and develop new policies based on the data. He also directs and produces a video series called "Beachcombing" about items washing up along the Gulf of Mexico beaches to help promote awareness of Gulf processes and interesting creatures in the ocean. His conservation efforts include educating the public about plastic pollution, marine science, and the protection of our natural resources.
Jace received a Master's degree in Marine Biology from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in 2001.
