• Description:
  The science of microplastics has expanded in the two years between the first and second microplastics workshops hosted by NOAA and the University of Washington, yet the risk of microplastic particles to marine systems is still unclear. The second workshop was intended to update microplastics science and take steps toward clarifying the risks of microplastics. Life cycles and impacts are important elements of the larger picture and are critical to an improved understanding of the risk of ecological harm from microplastics.
