Paws n’ Claws is a weekly segment on The South Shore’s Morning News all about the animal and nature world. It airs every Tuesday morning at 9:22. 

This week, we were pleased to welcome Nancy Downes, the Field Campaigns Manager of Oceana. 

Oceana is committed to protecting the world’s oceans and a large part of that protecting process is making sure trash, especially plastic, stays out of it. It has already been reported that plastic was found on deep parts of our ocean floor.

Listen to the interview below as Nancy explains alarming plastic statistics, how we can help, and why it is important to invest in reusable products:
