Article Synopsis
- - The study examines microplastics (MPs) in corals from three remote islands in the Indian Ocean, specifically focusing on six coral genera across a 1200 km area.
- - Average microplastic concentration was found to be 0.78 n/g, predominantly consisting of polypropylene (78%) and polyethylene (18%), with no significant differences between the islands.
- - This research is the first to report on microplastics in corals from the Western Indian Ocean, establishing a baseline for future studies and contributing to environmental monitoring and policy development.
