Geospatial distribution and fate of microplastics in the Hudson-Raritan estuary

2020
Karli Sipps

Summary

Research mapping microplastic distribution across the Hudson-Raritan estuary documented widespread contamination throughout one of the most urbanized estuaries in North America, identifying key accumulation zones and transport pathways. Understanding the fate of microplastics in complex estuary systems is critical for protecting coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.

Microplastics have become an increasingly large environmental concern due to the risks they may pose to aquatic ecosystems, as well as terrestria |
