The increasing presence of microplastics in marine ecosystems raises concerns about its potential long-term environmental impacts. To address this, the research will involve a comprehensive assessment of the distribution, sources, and fate of microplastics in marine environments. The study will analyze the interactions between microplastics and marine organisms, investigating their effects on biodiversity, food webs, and ecosystem functioning. Through advanced analytical techniques, the research will identify the most prevalent types of microplastics and assess their persistence in different marine environments. To develop effective mitigation strategies, the study will also evaluate current waste management practices, policies, and regulations related to plastic usage and disposal. The research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for sustainable practices, waste reduction, and policy interventions to minimize microplastic pollution and protect marine ecosystems.
