Summary

This notice is simply a correction fixing a data-labeling error in a chart from an earlier study on microplastic pollution in an important Irish Sea fishing area, it doesn't report new findings. The original research found that microplastics build up on the seafloor in this fishing ground, which matters because these tiny plastic particles can enter the seafood we eat, though this correction itself doesn't change what we know about health risks.

The original version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 1 where the values were incorrect. The original Fig. 1 and accompanying legend appear below. Figure 1 The location, site ID and mean microplastics per gram (MP/g) found within the four sediment sampling sites from the Western Irish Sea fishing grounds in ( a ) January 2016 and ( b ) January 2019. Monthly modelled residual currents for January 2020 ( a , b ) and July 2020 ( c ) demonstrating the development of the WISG in early summer. Modelled current data from E.U.
