Detecting microplastics pollution in world oceans using SAR remote sensing [PDF]
, 2018 Plastic pollution in the world’s oceans is estimated to have reached 270.000 tones, or 5.25 trillion pieces. This plastic is now ubiquitous, however due to ocean circulation patterns, it accumulates in the ocean gyres, creating “garbage patches”.

Microplastic Ingestion by Zooplankton [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2013 Small plastic detritus, termed "microplastics", are a widespread and ubiquitous contaminant of marine ecosystems across the globe. Ingestion of microplastics by marine biota, including mussels, worms, fish, and seabirds, has been widely reported, but despite their vital ecological role in marine food-webs, the impact of microplastics on zooplankton ...
