Summary
This study measured how much microplastic the Magdalena River—Colombia's largest river—carries into the Caribbean Sea, providing one of the first flux estimates for a major South American river system. Quantifying these inputs is essential for understanding how rivers contribute to the growing burden of plastic pollution in tropical marine environments.
