Microplastics: No Small Problem for Filter-Feeding Megafauna
Copyright policy )Microplastics: No Small Problem for Filter-Feeding Megafauna
Microplastic pollution can impact filter-feeding marine megafauna, namely mobulid rays, filter-feeding sharks, and baleen whales. Emerging research on these flagship species highlights potential exposure to microplastic contamination and plastic-associated toxins. Research and its wide communication are needed to understand the magnitude of the issue and improve marine stewardship.
