High-Resolution Mapping of Japanese Microplastic and Macroplastic Emissions from the Land into the Sea

High-Resolution Mapping of Japanese Microplastic and Macroplastic Emissions from the Land into the Sea

Plastic debris presents a serious hazard to marine ecosystems worldwide. In this study, we developed a method to evaluate high-resolution maps of plastic emissions from the land into the sea offshore of Japan without using mismanaged plastic waste. Plastics were divided into microplastics (MicPs) an...
