Proceedings of the Second Research Workshop on Microplastic Marine Debris
Description
The second workshop on microplastic marine debris was intended to update microplastics science and take steps toward clarifying the risks of microplastics. This workshop convened approximately 40 scientists from various fields of research to update the state of the science through presentations and posters in sessions focused on the topics of measurement and occurrence of microplastics, effects of microplastics, and engineering and risk assessment principles. Four working groups were formed to lead participants through a risk assessment exercise. Major gaps were identified, most of which involved tying microplastic presence to measured effects and impacts on the environment and organisms.
