Putting microplastics on the map

Write your title here. Click to edit.

Plastic pollution is now recognised as one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.  However, with increasing plastic production, and approximately 12 million metric ton leaking into our oceans annually, plastic pollution is a rapidly growing problem. 

 

Over the past decade, there has been significant attention given to macrolitter.  However, microplastics (plastics < 5mm) are now considered a greater concern, with scientists calling for them to be listed as a hazardous substance.  

 

Of the numerous recognised impacts to wildlife from marine litter, over 70% can be attributed to microplastics, and with their ability to move through the food chain, effects are compounded.
