Study Shows How Climate Change Affects Distribution of Marine Microplastic Litter

Microplastic aggregation and movement is significantly influenced by marine circulation and weather conditions. Microplastics are particles that measure less than 5 mm, and are a growing concern. They not only become more applicable as other plastic marine litter disintegrates into tiny particles, but also interact with species in a variety of marine habitats.
