Summary
This research examined the influence of ocean current systems on the distribution of floating microplastics across the North Pacific, combining surface trawl data with hydrodynamic modeling. Results confirmed accumulation in the North Pacific subtropical gyre but also identified persistent microplastic hotspots in nearshore convergence zones and along major current boundaries far from the well-publicized central accumulation zone.
