Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the presence and concentration of microplastics in bivalves (Cerasastoderma edule) and intertidal sediments in Dundalk Bay, Ireland, highlighting the increasing threat microplastic pollution poses to marine life.
  • Seasonal variations showed microplastic concentrations in both cockles and sediment far exceeded safe levels, with microfibres being the most common type found.
  • The research suggests that cockles could serve as effective biomonitors for microplastic pollution, detecting microplastics not found in sediment samples, indicating their potential role in tracking environmental health.
