Towards Characterising Microplastic Abundance, Typology and Retention in Mangrove-Dominated Estuaries

Towards Characterising Microplastic Abundance, Typology and Retention in Mangrove-Dominated Estuaries

Plastic and, particularly, microplastic (MP) pollution is a growing research theme, dedicated largely to marine systems. Occurring at the land–sea interface, estuarine habitats such as mangroves are at risk of plastic pollution. This study compared MP pollution (level, morphotype, polymer compositio...
