Hi Wallace,

I'm interested in learning more about this technique. Are you screening at the beach or at home? Do you use magnification to scan each sieve for the micros? If so, how carefully do you check?

I've never actually seen it done, so I don't have a point of reference.

Thanks,

David

"There is still very limited awareness of the nature of the threat. This is an era of specialists, each of whom sees his own problem and is unaware of or intolerant of the larger frame into which it fits. It is also an era dominated by industry, in which the right to make a dollar at whatever cost is seldom challenged." -- Silent Spring, Rachel Carson (1962)
