Passive and Active Removal of Marine Microplastics by a Mushroom Coral (Danafungia scruposa)
Although millions of tons of plastics end up in oceans each year, floating plastics account for only about 1% of all plastic inputs in the ocean. Particularly, microplastics below 1 mm in length, are missing in surface waters due to removal processes like ingestion by marine animals, biofouling, and...
