Characterizing microplastic pollution in aquatic sediments from Southwestern British Columbia, Canada
Geological Magazine
John Morra
Summary
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in mangrove sediments at Ishigaki Island, Japan, documenting particle abundance, polymer types, and distribution across the intertidal zone. Mangrove root systems trapped microplastics more effectively than adjacent unvegetated areas, identifying mangroves as hotspot accumulation environments within coastal ecosystems.
