How do scientists tackle plastic pollution? Plastic Pollution Science Story Studying impacts on marine life Scientists have amazing microscopes that allow them to see how plastic impacts even the smallest ocean creatures! Modelling the path of plastic pollution Modelling plastic pollution helps us understand where plastic goes and where it accumulates. This supports more effective cleanups and helps us to know how to stop plastic from polluting the lakes, rivers and the ocean. Plymouth Marine Laboratory researches microplastics, macroplastics , tyre particles, biodegradable plastics, microfibres, and paint particles. Images by Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
