Microplastics: No Small Problem for Filter-Feeding Megafauna

Trends in Ecology & Evolution , Volume 33 , Issue 4 , 227 – 232
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2018.01.005

Microplastic pollution can impact filter-feeding marine megafauna,
namely mobulid rays, filter-feeding sharks, and baleen whales. Emerging
research on these flagship species highlights potential exposure to
microplastic contamination and plastic-associated toxins. Research and
its wide communication are needed to understand the magnitude of the
issue and improve marine stewardship.
