@cleoabram: these mussels help filter microplastics out of the ocean… with their poop. microplastics are a big pollution problem in the ocean. they’re tiny particles of plastic that can clog the intestines of fish and hurt marine life. but these mussels have no problem eating and trapping them. so can we use that? yes, with some caveats… #science #ocean #climate #stem #askcleo

If you don't eat them, there will be more to filter the sea.

Is it unrealistic. The UK 150 years ago used feed it's poor population oysters. We just have to start introducing things.

The issue is, how do you ensure all the mussles poop out all the micriplastic before being served on the table?

Wait, and we still have to collect the poop in the ocean?
