Author Correction: Microplastic pollution in seawater and marine organisms across the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers published a correction to their study on microplastic pollution across the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos, clarifying that plastic fibres were the dominant form found and specifying the location with the highest concentration of microplastic particles was in international waters. Microplastic fibres are among the most pervasive forms of plastic pollution in ocean environments worldwide.
Microplastics appeared mostly in the form of plastic fibres (see Fig. As mentioned above, the largest concentration of microplastic particles was found in international waters at the station 20 (see Supplementary S3, S4 and Fig.

Microplastic pollution in seawater and marine organisms across the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers sampled water and seafood across 453,000 square kilometers of the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos Islands, finding microplastics in 100% of water samples and in every species of fish, squid, and shrimp collected. This confirms that microplastic contamination is pervasive even in remote ocean regions, raising concerns for both marine ecosystems and human food safety.
Microplastic pollution in seawater and marine organisms across the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Galápagos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers collected water samples across a 4,000 km Pacific Ocean trajectory and found microplastics throughout, along with microplastics in fish, squid, and shrimp caught for human consumption along the coast. The study confirms widespread plastic contamination across the Tropical Eastern Pacific, including in seafood species eaten by humans.
