Funding Information: This research was partially funded by National Geographic Society through an Early Career Grant (EC-397R-18). Publisher Copyright: Copyright © 2022 Rodrigues, Antunes, Pais, Pequeno, Caetano, Rocha, Sobral and Costa.; Understanding local accumulation patterns of microplastics in subtidal sediments is crucial to assess how available such particles are for ingestion by benthic feeders and to ...

Seasonal Abundance and Distribution Patterns of Microplastics in the Lis River,...

Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; The majority of microplastics (MP) found in the marine environment have land-based sources and rivers are known as carriers of these particles to the ocean. This work is the first to study MP in the Lis River Basin and coastal shoreline (total nine sampling sites) and the potential relationship with inputs from 105 companies/units. ...

Microplastics in Marine and Estuarine Species From the Coast of Portugal

UIDB/ 04292/2020 IT057-18-7252; Microplastics (MP) have been confirmed as emerging pollutants in the marine environment due to their ubiquity, bioavailability, persistence and potential toxicity. This study contributes with valuable data regarding the abundance and characteristics of the MP found in five species collected from Portugal. The mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (n = 140) was collected from the Tagus...

Distribution Patterns of Microplastics in Seawater Surface at a Portuguese Estu...

EC-397R-18 JPIOCEANS/0001/2015 SFRH/BD/130652/2017; Measuring local levels of marine pollution by microplastics (MP) and identifying potential sources in coastal areas is essential to evaluate the associated impacts to environment and biota. The accumulation of floating MP at the sea surface is of great concern as the neustonic habitat consists of a feeding ground for primary consumers (including filter-feeders...
