Abstract
    Plastic production, use and disposal keep increasing, and with it, the presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment. Removing such tiny particles from the environment is difficult, resulting in their ongoing ultimate accumulation in the ocean. Although we do not yet fully understand the ecological effects of microplastics, it is increasingly evident that they are widespread throughout the environment, even found within human bodies, and generally go along with negative impacts.
