Summary
Researchers conducted the first in situ observations of microplastic concentrations and vertical distribution within mesoscale ocean eddies south of the Canary Islands, investigating how these rotating current structures retain and redistribute microplastics through the water column.
Study Type
Environmental
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a major concern in the global ocean, its vertical distribution and retention within mesoscale structures remains unknown. In this study, we present the first in situ observations of microplastic concentrations th
