Microplastic Distribution and Seasonal Variations in Backwaters Mangrove Sediments of Sandspit Karachi
Summary
Researchers documented microplastic contamination in the mangrove sediments of Sandspit, Karachi, finding that these nearly invisible particles accumulate in coastal ecosystems where they enter the marine food chain — threatening everything from bottom-dwelling organisms to the humans who eat seafood.
Micro plastic are least visible particles that cannot be observed with naked eyes therefore, becoming another immense trouble around the world which contaminate mangrove ecosystem and ultimately human health.Presence of micro plastic in food chain impacts all the animals from primary consumers to tertiary consumers, therefore the sediments are the prime source of food for benthic fauna (Primary consumer) which is essential component of marine food chain.
