Microplastic hotspots mapped across the Southern Ocean reveal areas of potential ecological impact
Abstract Marine microplastic is pervasive, polluting the remotest ecosystems including the Southern Ocean. Since this region is already undergoing climatic changes, the additional stress of microplastic pollution on the ecosystem should not be considered in isolation. We identify potential hotspot a...
