Summary
This review paper examines how plastic waste is polluting the coastal waters of Quang Binh Province, Vietnam, tracing where the trash comes from and the environmental damage it causes, while suggesting ways local officials can better tackle the problem. This matters beyond Vietnam because ocean plastic breaks down into microplastics that enter the seafood we eat and the water we drink, meaning pollution in one coastal region can ultimately affect human health worldwide.
