Researchers from Japan and Thailand have found that all three parts of the coral anatomy—surface mucus, tissue, and skeleton—contain microplastics.
The findings were made possible thanks to a new microplastic detection technique developed by the team and applied to coral for the first time.
These findings may also explain the missing plastic problem’ that has puzzled scientists, where 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found.
