Alerting the world to microplastics in the ocean

Richard has spent decades studying the harm that microplastics might cause to marine life, his work was instrumental in the UK ban on microbeads in shower gels and exfoliating scrubs, and he advised government to ban single use plastic bags from supermarkets.
