zizien1019/biofouling_eccov4r5_mitgcm68o: Biofouling model compatible with MITgcm w/ example outputs
Summary
Scientists built a computer model that tracks how tiny algae and microbes growing on microplastics (called "biofouling") change where these plastic bits travel and settle in the ocean. This matters because understanding where microplastics accumulate—including areas where seafood is harvested—helps researchers better predict human exposure to these particles through the food we eat. Note that this particular resource is a technical tool for running the model, not a summary of specific health findings.
