Summary

Microplastics are now ubiquitous across all marine compartments — surface waters, the water column, sediments, beaches, and organisms worldwide — making systematic environmental assessment essential for understanding their ecological and biological impacts. The pervasive distribution of these particles across marine food webs raises significant concern about their accumulation in organisms consumed by humans.

Microplastics have become a constant and ubiquitous component of the marine environment, being found in water surface, along water column, and in sediments, beaches, and organisms worldwide. Assessing microplastics in the environment is necessary to understand...
