Microplastics: No Small Problem for Filter-Feeding Megafauna<\/p>\n

Trends in Ecology & Evolution , Volume 33 , Issue 4 , 227 – 232
\nDOI: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.tree.2018.01.005<\/a><\/p>\n

Microplastic pollution can impact filter-feeding marine megafauna,
\nnamely mobulid rays, filter-feeding sharks, and baleen whales. Emerging
\nresearch on these flagship species highlights potential exposure to
\nmicroplastic contamination and plastic-associated toxins. Research and
\nits wide communication are needed to understand the magnitude of the
\nissue and improve marine stewardship.<\/p>\n
