45. Persistence of plastic debris and its colonization by bacterial communities after two decades on the abyssal seafloor

Image
          The presence of plastics in the oceans is currently a hot topic in the plastic research matter. A lot of suggestive analysis, revolutionary studies and new approaches to the problem have taken off in the last years and the article we share today follows that way. There are plastics also in the seafloor where bacteria communities grow; that’s the focus of the paper which hopefully will please you.

39. It's the product not the polymer: Rethinking plastic pollution

Image
     The authors present in this article a bitter discussion about the current situation of plastic pollution in oceans. Data has been misinterpreted and shared incorrectly with alarmist holders in news that only feed the plast-fobia . They twist the mainstream by taking conclusions from data, but highlighting this global problem anyway.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in WIREs Water on 28 th September 2020 Thomas Stanton, Paul Kay, Matthew Johnson, Faith Ka Shun Chan, Rachel L.

38. Investigating the presence of microplastics in demersal sharks of the North-East Atlantic

Image
          The presence of microplastics in oceans all over the world is already an unquestionable issue nowadays. In this study, the authors focus the hunt of polymeric fibers in sharks , a spice that is normally forgotten when the impact of the human waste is analysed. Take a look at a new example about how plastic is everywhere. Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in Scientific Reports on 22 nd July 2020 Kristian J.

31. Seagrasses provide a novel ecosystem service by trapping marine plastics

Image
          I n this article, the authors try to answer the question of where is the missing plastic in the ocean . Studies so far show that the majority of this plastic is in the sea bottom, but here they add another place where the wastes of our throw-away society end: the seagrass . Take a listen to this interesting explanation and the importance of the seaweed in the oceanic ecosystems.
