The Distribution and Characteristics of Microplastics in Coastal Beaches and Mangrove Wetlands
Summary
Researchers investigated how microplastics accumulate in coastal beaches and mangrove wetlands, finding these ecosystems act as hotspots that trap plastic particles carried by ocean currents and tides, potentially threatening the marine life that depends on these sensitive habitats.
Microplastics found in coastal environments can be transported to and accumulate in different coastal environmental media by diverse driving factors and pathways. Increasing numbers of studies indicate that microplastics accumulate in coastal areas with highly...
