The marine organisms – trapped under the ice for five decades – came to light after an iceberg over two times bigger than New York City broke off of the Brunt Ice Shelf in northern Antarctica last month. The iceberg, called A-74, drifted into the Weddell Sea […]

“Lost” ocean microplastics might be accumulating in estuaries, coastal environments
Marine microplastic pollution is a pervasive problem. Microplastics are small plastic fragments that form when larger pieces of plastic debris in aquatic environments break down due to exposure to the elements. But scientists have found that the amount of microplastic waste entering freshwater environments like streams and rivers differs from the amount of microplastic waste present in marine […]
