Edson, Ethan

Ethan Edson graduated from Northeastern University is 2015 with a B.S. in Marine and Environmental Science.  After spending six weeks sailing aboard a tallship with SEA Semester’s Marine Biodiversity and Conservation program in 2013, Ethan became fascinated with the high levels of microplastic pollution that he saw in the middle of the Sargasso Sea, and noticed a lack of technology for collecting and studying microplastics.  Ethan is a “maker” at heart and utilizes open source technology, 3D printing, and self-built equipment to build tools to help better understand our oceans. Ethan is currently a Research Technician at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center in Nahant, MA.
