Journal ArticleDOI
The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris
Lucy C. Woodall,Anna Sanchez-Vidal,Miquel Canals,Gordon L.J. Paterson,Rachel L. Coppock,Victoria A. Sleight,A. Calafat,Alex Rogers,Bhavani Narayanaswamy,Richard C. Thompson +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that deep-sea sediments are a likely sink for microplastics, and the dominance of microfibres points to a previously underreported and unsampled plastic fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic microfibre ingestion by deep-sea organisms
TL;DR: It is shown that plastic microfibres are ingested and internalised by members of at least three major phyla with different feeding mechanisms, demonstrating that the deep sea and its fragile habitats are already being exposed to human waste to the extent that diverse organisms are ingesting microplastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using a forensic science approach to minimize environmental contamination and to identify microfibres in marine sediments.
Lucy C. Woodall,Claire Gwinnett,Margaret Packer,Richard C. Thompson,Laura F. Robinson,Gordon L.J. Paterson +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the protocol, adapted from the field of forensic fibre examination, reduces fibre abundance by 90% and enables the quick screening of fibre populations and allow an accurate estimate of microplastics polluting marine sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turning the tide of parachute science.
Paris V. Stefanoudis,Wilfredo Y. Licuanan,Tiffany H. Morrison,Sheena Talma,Joeli Veitayaki,Lucy C. Woodall +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide evidence through systematic literature searches and queries that parachute science practices are still widespread in marine research and make some recommendations to help change the current status quo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep-sea litter: A comparison of seamounts, banks and a ridge in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans reveals both environmental and anthropogenic factors impact accumulation and composition
TL;DR: In this article, two large-scale surveys of submarine geomorphological features in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans reveal that litter was found at all locations, despite their remoteness.
