Abstract
NOAA Office of Response & Restoration’s Disaster Preparedness Program partnered with University of New Hampshire’s Coastal Response Research Center (CRRC) to conduct a two day workshop at NOAA’s Center for Weather and Climate Prediction in College Park, MD. This workshop identifies overarching concepts, knowledge gaps, challenges, and research regarding Pre-Production Plastic Pellets (PPPPs), colloquially known as nurdles. The resulting conversations explored state of the art technologies deployed during a spill event and complications introduced to response and recovery efforts by the physical properties and fate and transport of PPPPs.
