OCEARCH SCIENCE BRIEFS: What Are Microplastics?

Every year humans use tons of plastic just once, before throwing it away - and far too much of it ends up in our oceans. Microplastics, defined as a plastic particle less than 5mm in size, can enter the food web through trophic transfer, and we can see them in our white sharks and even in ourselves. But, small habit changes can make a big impact, and help reduce the amount of plastics that we see in our oceans. Join the movement to #KickPlastic. This video features Dr. Harley Newton.

OCEARCH is a global non-profit organization conducting unprecedented research on our ocean's giants in order to help scientists collect previously unattainable data in the ocean. Our mission is to accelerate the ocean's return to balance and abundance through fearless innovations in critical scientific research, education, outreach, and policy using unique collaborations of individuals and organizations in the U.S and abroad.
