A global assessment of microplastic abundance and characteristics on marine tur...
Botterell, Zara L. R.; Ardren, Jed; Dove, Elly; McArthur, Ellen; Addison, David S.; Adegbile, Oyeronke M.; Agamboue, Pierre Didier; Agyekumhene, AndrewsSandy coastal beaches are an important nesting habitat for marine turtles and a known sink for plastic pollution. Existing methodologies for monitoring the spatiotemporal patterns of abundance and composition of plastic are, however, disparate. We engaged a global network of marine turtle scientists to implement a large-scale sampling effort to assess microplastic abundance in beach sediments on marine turtle n...
