Mitigation of the Plastic Pollution in the Marine Environment to Conserve the Marine Biota: An Overview
Summary
Researchers reviewed how plastics — the dominant form of marine solid waste — break down into microplastics and nanoplastics under environmental forces, threatening marine biodiversity. The overview highlights mitigation strategies needed to reduce ongoing plastic inputs before damage to ocean ecosystems becomes irreversible.
Plastics constitute the major portion of the solid waste entering the marine environment. Various environmental forces lead to the generation of small particles of the plastic which are referred to as microplastic, mesoplastic and nanoplastic. These plastic particles...
