Mussels' Unique Ability to 'Filter' Microplastics Can Help Clean Up the Ocean


As the world is experiencing climate change and drastic natural phenomena in the past couple of years, there has been a constant problem that starts on microplastics of the ocean and toxic waste.
This challenges us to think and find possible remedies, but there are organisms that may be able to naturally fix the problems present. One good example is mussels, which is a type of mollusk found capable of filtering microplastics on the ocean by constantly filter feeding.
