Submarine Groundwater Discharge: An Overlooked but Quantifiable Pathway for Microplastics Inputs to the Coastal Ocean

Mendeley Data 2026
Feng Pan

Summary

This is a dataset record for a study demonstrating that submarine groundwater discharge—freshwater and seawater seeping through coastal sediments into the ocean—is a previously overlooked but measurable pathway delivering microplastics directly to the coastal ocean, bypassing surface water monitoring entirely.
