zizien1019/biofouling_eccov4r5_mitgcm68o: Biofouling model that works with MITgcm

Summary
This isn't actually a health study — it's a software tool and computer model that tracks how tiny algae and bacteria buildup ("biofouling") affects where microplastics travel and sink in the ocean. Understanding this movement matters because it helps scientists predict where microplastics end up, including in seafood and drinking water sources, which is a first step toward understanding our exposure to them.
