Quantifying the amount of plastic in the ocean has been facilitated by surveys of accumulated plastic on beaches, but existing monitoring programmes assume the proportion of plastic detected during beach surveys is constant across time and space.
Model runs were insensitive to 0-10% swimming activity assumed during beach closure days.
She told me she was starting a new job, moving back to New York, etc. Imagine my hurt when I found Facebook pictures of her on a beach during the time of her proposed visit to me.

However, even when the lifeguards participated in mild exercise on the beach during a time when there were measurable levels of brevetoxins in the air, we did not detect changes in pulmonary function as measured using spirometry.
