Article Synopsis
- Fisheries activities have led to significant marine pollution, with increasing amounts of debris like plastics harming ecosystems and fisheries.
- Research conducted along the coasts of Korea from February to November 2018 revealed a staggering total of 62,541.5 kg of seabed litter, primarily concentrated in specific sea blocks.
- This study is the first of its kind in the region and provides essential baseline data to help understand seabed litter distribution and inform government policy for marine conservation.
