Microplásticos en Ecosistemas Marinos

The study examines the problem of microplastics in marine ecosystems, analyzing the generation of plastics globally and their impact on aquatic life. A literature review of recent articles was conducted and the OUT WORLD IN DATA database was consulted to obtain information on plastic waste generation by country and ocean pollution. The results show that poor plastic waste management and overproduction of plastic have led to a proliferation of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems, negatively affecting marine life. It highlights the need for a global and collaborative approach to address this issue and find effective solutions to prevent and reduce microplastic pollution in the oceans.
