New study on the role of biological particles in the removal of surface microplasticsEven though it might not be visible to the naked eye, microplastic has now been found in most parts of the ocean. But the concentrations near the surface should be much higher, considering the enormous amounts of waste that reach the ocean every year. Where is the other microplastic? Using model simulations, researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have investigated the global role of marine snow in the removal of surface microplastic. The results have now been published in the international journal Frontiers in Marine Science.
