Summary

This global review examined the use of bioindicator species for monitoring plastic pollution in marine food webs and developed recommendations for standardized bioindicator-based monitoring approaches. The authors identified the most suitable taxa, protocols, and knowledge gaps to support evidence-based management of the marine plastic pollution crisis.

Monitoring the movement of plastic into marine food webs is central to understanding and mitigating the plastic pollution crisis.
