Inspiration Dissemination

Our guest this evening is Katy Nalven, a 2nd year Masters student in the Marine Resources Management program, who is using a community based social marketing approach to ask people not only IF they know about the problem of plastics in oceans, but also seeks to understand HOW people think about this problem and what could be individual hurdles to decreasing plastic usage. Using a survey based approach administered at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Katy plans to examine a few specific communities of interest to identify how the views around plastic usage from Aquarium visitors and local community members may differ and hopefully where they overlap. Listen in to find out why Katy hopscotched around the US living in Arkensas, Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, and finally here at Oregon State University. Please find us on social media!
