Plastic Debris Alters Aquatic Habitats and Disrupts Sustainable Fisheries
Summary
Researchers reviewed how plastic debris infiltrates aquatic ecosystems, fragmenting into micro- and nanoplastics that disrupt fish habitats, alter food webs, and undermine sustainable fisheries. This matters because plastics' persistence in water means microplastics accumulate in seafood consumed by humans, linking ocean pollution directly to food safety and long-term health exposure.
Plastic debris has become one of the most pressing global environmental pollutants, infiltrating aquatic ecosystems from freshwater sources to marine environments. Its persistence, buoyancy, and fragmentation into micro- and nanoplastics have profound ecological...
