Plastic has reached the deepest ocean trenches

Originally published:2020-01-04

A study found fibres in every ocean trench it sampled, and plastic fibres or microplastics in the digestive systems of more than 80% of the amphipods examined. A new year is a good time to look at what these plastics may mean for us.

This restates a National Geographic report; see the original article for the figures and the details of the study.
