In recognition of World Oceans Day on June 8, Annual Reviews has curated a collection of articles that review the topics of marine pollution, human impact and environmental stewardship, and marine species' adaptation.
"From medical supplies and water bottles to food packaging, clothing and construction materials, every person now disposes an average of 52kg of plastic waste every year [...]"

Annual Review of Environment and Resources
Nano- and microplastics are polluting the food chain from the bottom up. Harrowing images of marine wildlife entangled in, or ingesting, the plastic debris in our oceans serve as stark warning of the impact humans are having on the environment. These images are increasing in prevalence, but today is a great day to mobilize for change.
