Summary
This book chapter reviews the distribution, sources, and impacts of plastic debris across marine environments, covering beach, surface, water column, and seafloor habitats with photographic documentation. It provides a broad overview of how plastic pollution pervades all zones of the ocean.
Figure 9.1 Plastic debris is ubiquitous in the marine environment, some examples include a plastic found washed up on beaches b floating on the water's surface c floating within the water column d and deposited on the seafloor.Photos: A. Malmgren (a), K.
