RESPONSE
Project summary
European research project that is developing a model that will support the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive in monitoring marine plastic pollution. The project wiil be identifying possible accumulation zones in European coastal ecosystems by studying hydrological transport dynamics; analysing the abundance and type of micro- and nanoplastics found in marine species by sampling representative marine animals; identifying how plastic particles, along with other environmental stressors, affect the health of species and food webs; and synthesising this research into a Weight of Evidence model.
