Summary

This conference report summarized discussions among international experts at a 2019 workshop in Spain on the transdisciplinary challenges of researching ocean microplastic pollution, emphasizing the need for co-learning across scientific disciplines and stakeholder engagement to address knowledge gaps.

Study Type Environmental

This conference report summarizes the current challenges of researching microplastics pollution in the ocean as debated by international experts and stakeholders at a workshop held in San Sebastián, Spain, 1-2 October 2019. The transdisciplinary, co-learning approach of this report stressed the need to incorporate multiple perspective in solving the problem of microplastics and resulted in three proposed actions: (i) filtering microplastics from waste waters; (ii) mandatory ecolabels on plastic products packages; and (iii) circular economy of packaging plastics.
