“…Using plankton samples archived by the Sir Alistair Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science, it was evident that the abundance of this microscopic debris had increased significantly in recent years (figure 8). Similar fragments have since been identified from shorelines worldwide (figure 7), and in terms of numerical abundance, micro-plastic can constitute over 80 per cent of intertidal plastic debris at some locations (Browne et al 2007).…”

“…Various studies demonstrated the presence of microplastics in the North Sea with maximum concentrations of up to 86 fibers·kg −1 sediment (dry weight) in subtidal habitats. 5,9,[17][18][19]21,22 Especially zones of low hydrodynamic action or dense macroalgal cover can reduce the water turbulence and thereby enhance deposition and sedimentation of particulate matter. 15,56 Additionally, Fucus canopies create a complex surface where plastic particles and fibers could stick to or get trapped.…”

“…5,15−17 The most abundant polymer types are polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene (styrofoam). 15 The majority of microplastics in pelagic and benthic habitats is within the size range of 30 to 1,000 μm, 15,18,19 but even smaller particles were detected. 5,20−22 Reported concentrations of microplastics in subtidal marine habitats range from 3.7 particles·kg −1 to 124 particles·L −1 of sediment.…”

“…Since the first review of microplastic (Browne et al 2007), a number of terms have been used to describe and categorize sources of microplastic. Some authors have used the terms "primary" and "secondary" to distinguish between sources of microplastic, in which they borrow terminology from atmospheric sciences (Arthur et al 2009;Cole et al 2011).…”
