Summary
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in mangrove ecosystems, which sit at the junction of marine and coastal environments and may act as pollution traps, collecting microplastics from both land and ocean sources while also serving as critical habitat for marine life.
Large expanding mangroves are the natural assets of the coastal Global South. Being an ecotone habitat, mangroves lie between the marine and estuarine interfaces, thus accumulating numerous hazardous materials from both sources, including microplastics (MPs,...
