Polystyrene microplastic contamination versus microplankton abundances in two lagoons of the Florida Keys
Abstract A microscopic study of microplankton in two coastal lagoons in the Florida Keys coincidently, and unexpectedly, revealed the widespread presence of high concentrations of polystyrene microplastic particles. The polystyrene particles were first observed in the second year of a 2-year study o...
