Tariq Qaiser， an architect， is trying t prtect mangrves（红树）.The trees culd save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi， sitting n the Arabian Sea， frm natural disasters. He cmes t Bundal Island several times a week t dcument the illegal cutting f mangrve trees. "On sme days， yu can’t hear a single bird because the chain saws are s lud. The trees are cut dwn illegally fr firewd，" he says， shaking his head. Besides， develpers clear the mangrves t make rm fr cnstructin.
Karachi has a ht climate， and its cncrete buildings and paved rads make it even htter.Offshre， there are islands where mangrves grw. They culd be the key t slwing climate change. Mangrve frests pull carbn dixide ut f the air， hlding fur times as much f the planet-warming gas as ther frests can. They supprt diverse ecsystems. As sea levels rise with glbal warming， the trees culd play a big rle in prtecting castal cities like Karachi frm flding. Karachi’s mangrves are disappearing. But its numbers are rising in ther parts f Pakistan. With replanting effrts， the cuntry has tripled（成为三倍）its mangrve cverage ver the past 30 years.
Qaiser’s wrk may have wrked. Recently， a curt in Karachi declared Bundal Island’s mangrves t be prtected frests. But unfrested parts f the island remain unprtected， and develpers want t build there. City fficials say this culd prvide much-needed husing and bring in billins f dllars. They claim that sme f that mney culd be used t plant mangrves in ther parts f Pakistan.
Eclgist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser’s "extrardinary wrk" educating the public abut mangrves. But he wishes Qaiser wuld lk at the bigger picture. "Only 7％ f Pakistan’s mangrves are in Karachi，" Haq says. He thinks it’s wrng t fcus n the lsses in 7％ f the cuntry while ignring the success in 93％ f it. But Qaiser believes it’s imprtant t prtect every bit.

Establishing a baseline cunt f the presence f micrplastic particles — and， mre bradly， any micrplastics — is the fcus f Dr McReynlds’ scientific study here. Charting the cunt and nting tide， current， and weather cnditins will shw if amunts are increasing， and perhaps at what rate and why. That knwledge， he says， can infrm slutins t plastic pllutin such as regulatin f their use.
"What are yu ding？ Picking up trash？" asks a steady stream f beach walkers whenever Dr McReynlds’ crew walks nt the beach and sets up equipment. These are teachable mments fr Dr McReynlds.
