Day 10: June 8

Nothing too mind-blowing happened today. Everyone has pretty much gotten a sense of what we are doing for our project after meeting one-on-one with Lorraine; so it was a pretty quiet day at the office with everyone working on their computers, researching sources, and whatnot. My individual contribution to the economics team is to research the domestic land-based sources of marine plastic pollution and research who are the top producers and top consumers of this plastic. This task seems easy enough, yet the only hitch is that we are trying to find data specific for the San Francisco Bay Area and that is where I have hit a roadblock in my search for data. (It seems that almost every study about plastic waste/pollution was only ever done on a national or state-by-state scale) but never fear, I am still working hard in finding my way around it. So that was pretty much what my entire Tuesday looked like. After work, Monica stopped by and we sat and chatted with her about our residential and dining circumstances and how we’re generally getting along with boat life.
