Summary
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.
