I trawl coastlines to study the impacts of microplastics on marine life
Summary
Marine biologist Lorenzo Cozzolino describes his fieldwork trawling coastlines to study how microplastics affect the behavior and physiology of molluscs, crustaceans, and seaweeds. His research highlights that microplastic impacts extend beyond ingestion — these particles alter how marine organisms function, with potential ripple effects up through the food chain to human consumers.
Biologist Lorenzo Cozzolino examines how these tiny particles are affecting the behaviour and physiology of molluscs, crustaceans and seaweeds. Biologist Lorenzo Cozzolino examines how these tiny particles are affecting the behaviour and physiology of molluscs, crustaceans and seaweeds.
