Dr. Jennifer Lavers sees seabirds as sentinels of marine health. Are we listening to what they’re telling us? Her work as a scientist attached to the University of Tasmania's Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies focuses on birdlife, but recently she's been looking to art and fashion to help get the message out too.

Jennifer appears in the new film Blue about the state of our seas. And she’s working with her friend Marina De Bris, who shows her ‘trashion’ concept (fashion garments made entirely from ocean plastic rubbish) on the runway.

In this Episode, Jennifer tells the story of her research on remote Henderson Island in the South Pacific and its debris-littered beaches. What happens to plastic when it enters our waters? What’s the deal with bioaccumulation? Why are microplastics linked to the fashion industry? How can we turn the story of ocean plastic around? 

The WARDROBE CRISIS show notes unpack the issues addressed in each Episode. Way more than just links, it's like a mini magazine!
