Microplastics in marine environment

Original title: Microplastics in marine environment

AI summary Read the abstract

This Croatian-language review examined the growing problem of plastic pollution in marine environments, discussing its threats to marine ecosystems and human health and the need for international regulation and prevention strategies.

Održivo upravljanje morskim okolišem danas je jedan od globalnih problema. Naime, zagađenje morskog okoliša u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća sve više ukazuje na potrebu za donošenjem zakonskih regulativa, uvođenjem kontrole te prevenciju jer se danas svijet suočava sa zagađenjem svjetskih mora i oceana, a potencijalno i s negativnim učincima takvog zagađenja za život u moru, pojedinih gospodarskih grana i zdravlja ljudi. Jedan od vodećih problema odnosi se na zagađenje mora i oceana plastikom. To se ne odnosi samo na krupnu plastiku, nego i na mikroplastiku koja je trenutno jedan od najznačajnijih problema zagađenja mora i oceana te može uzrokovati vrlo negativne i trajne posljedice na morski okoliš. Zbog toga je važno ovoj problematici na nacionalnoj i međunarodnoj razini pristupiti sustavno te na taj način smanjiti negativne učinke mikroplastike na morski okoliš.
