Distribution characteristics of microplastics and macroplastics in surface seawater across seasonal fluctuations: A case study in the Bohai Bay, China
Key Points
Microplastics and macroplastics exhibit distinct distribution patterns in seawater.
Concentration levels of plastics notably vary with seasonal changes, revealing environmental impacts.
Observational analysis across Bohai Bay highlights significant plastic waste issues over time.
Findings suggest a pressing need for monitoring and potential mitigation strategies within marine ecosystems.
