On the Persistence of Ocean Plastics [32]

Concerns about seaborne plastic waste go back decades, but science writer Juli Berwald suggests that myths and disinformation about sources and solutions continue to cloud the waters.

But will the newly signed international treaty on plastics offer relief?
