ClearEditorial: Marine Pollution - Emerging Issues and Challenges
This editorial introduces a research collection on emerging marine pollution issues, covering microplastics, chemical contaminants, and their biological impacts, and highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches to address the growing diversity and geographic spread of pollutants entering ocean ecosystems.
A machine learning-based evidence map of ocean-related options for climate change mitigation and adaptation
Researchers trained an AI model to map and classify nearly 44,000 scientific papers on ocean-based strategies for addressing climate change, finding that 80% of research focuses on reducing emissions while far fewer studies address adapting to climate impacts. The analysis also revealed that research effort is heavily concentrated in wealthier nations, despite poorer regions facing the greatest climate risks.
Quantifying spatial variation in the uptake of microplastic by mussels using biodeposit traps: A field-based study
Researchers used novel biodeposit traps to measure how mussels in different field locations take up and excrete microplastics, finding significant spatial variation in uptake rates. Mussels can serve as natural biomonitors of local microplastic contamination, with their biodeposits revealing how much plastic is present in their environment.
