“International Scientists Dive Into the Unknown: Unlocking the Secrets of Microplastics in the Ocean”
International scientists are studying microplastics in the ocean near Panama, aiming to understand their behavior and impact. Plastic waste, breaking down into tiny particles, ends up in oceans, with 1.9 million microplastic particles per square kilometer already found. Marine organisms, including those consumed by humans, can ingest these microplastics, and their effects on our planet and health are being investigated. The research is conducted on a vessel belonging to the Schmidt Ocean Institute, funded by Google’s former executive director.
