Summary
This study quantified how many microplastics the Magdalena River — Colombia's largest river — carries into the Caribbean Sea, establishing a baseline for understanding South America's contribution to marine plastic pollution. River-to-ocean flux measurements like this are essential for building accurate global models of how plastic pollution accumulates in marine ecosystems.
