## Resource

New research reveals ocean plastic pollution is far worse than previously thought, with millions of metric tons entering the seas yearly—breaking down into toxic microplastics that endanger marine life and human health. Advanced modeling shows global rivers, especially a few key ones, are major contributors, spotlighting urgent opportunities for targeted cleanup and systemic change in waste management and single-use plastics.
