Implication

Observational study reveals macroplastic accumulation reduces plankton diversity in coastal mangroves, indicating that plastic waste disrupts aquatic food webs.

Key Points

Coastal macroplastic waste accumulated up to 13820 grams between mangrove roots, which suppressed plankton diversity and reduced phyla richness from three to two.
Purposive sampling across river, estuarine, and coastal mangrove plots tracked water quality alongside Chlorophyta and Chrysophyta abundance from June to July 2023.
Highlights how macroplastic debris combined with shifts in dissolved oxygen and salinity threatens aquatic food webs, calling for targeted restoration in coastal habitats.
