Lost ocean microplastics might be accumulating in estuaries, coastal environments

https://www.afinalwarning.com/502740.html (Natural News) Marine microplastic pollution is a pervasive problem. Microplastics are small plastic fragments that form when larger pieces of plastic debris in aquatic environments break down due to exposure to the elements. But scientists have found that the amount of microplastic waste entering freshwater environments like streams and rivers differs from the amount of microplastic waste present in marine habitats like the ocean. Now, new research suggests coastal environments like estuaries could be filtering out microplastics before they can enter the ocean, hence the discrepancy between microplastic loads in freshwater and marine environments. These findings appeared in
