Summary

Researchers assessed the potential of integrating remote sensing and geographic information systems to monitor and manage microplastic pollution at scale, finding that satellite imagery and spatial modeling can identify high-risk accumulation zones in marine environments and improve the targeting of cleanup and regulatory interventions.

Microplastic pollution poses a profound and escalating threat to the biosphere, impacting ecosystems and human health on a global scale. In addition to assessing the potential of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance marine pollution...
