Pathways and fluxes of plastics into the oceans

All material that erodes and washes off the land will end up in the marine environment. This includes solid materials that constitute marine litter. Understanding the role and importance of the different pathways is crucial to prioritizing efforts to reduce the amount of debris and microplastics reaching the ocean.

We all contribute to this problem. Yes, all. And we need to act now if we want to avoid living in a sea of plastic by mid-century.
