## Resource

New research reveals ocean plastic pollution is far worse than thought—millions of tons are accumulating faster than predicted, with microplastics sinking to the seafloor and silently poisoning marine life. Fish, birds, and mammals are ingesting these toxins, causing injury, starvation, and chemical contamination that threatens the entire food chain. Scientists are racing to track the spread and demand global action on plastic production and waste management—urgency is now critical to protect our oceans and ourselves.
