## Resource

New research reveals ocean plastic pollution is far worse than previously thought—billions of microplastic fragments are choking marine ecosystems, from plankton to whales, with major rivers identified as key pollution sources. This isn’t just an environmental crisis—it’s a threat to our food chain and global health, demanding urgent action to reduce plastic production and target cleanup efforts where it matters most.
