[CHECK THEM OUT] - Their scientific research objective is to understand the scope and impact of plastic debris in the global marine ecosystem and potential effects on human health by: - Characterizing the distribution, degradation, and fate of plastic debris in the coastal, benthic (surface of ocean floor) and pelagic (open ocean) marine environments; - Understanding the impact of plastic debris ingestion on marine organisms (reproductive rate, growth, etc.) and any subsequent impacts on populations; - Understanding the absorption/adsorption of various types of plastics and the possible transference of toxic contaminants to marine life; and - Determine if the transfer of toxic contaminants to marine life has short- and long-term implication for human health.
