Abstract

Microplastics represent a growing environmental threat, particularly to marine ecosystems. This paper explores the sources, distribution, and impacts of microplastics in marine environments. It reviews current research on the ecological consequences of microplastic pollution, including effects on marine life and habitats. The study also evaluates policy responses and technological innovations aimed at reducing microplastic pollution and mitigating its impacts on marine biodiversity.
