Editorial: Plastic Pollution in the Bay Areas
AI summary Read the abstract
This editorial introduces a Frontiers in Marine Science collection on plastic pollution specifically in bay environments, noting that enclosed or semi-enclosed coastal bays accumulate plastic debris from both land-based and marine sources and face particular challenges for pollution monitoring and management. The issue covers microplastic and macroplastic contamination in bay ecosystems worldwide.
