Microplastics are classified into two morphologies: fragments and fibers. Microplastic fragments are broken from larger plastic debris, while microplastic fibers are shed from fishing nets, cigarette butts, and synthetic garments. #MicroplasticFibers #PlasticMicrofibers

In addition to plastic fragments from ocean debris, microplastics are also in the form of threads from fishing nets and synthetic clothing. When buying new textiles, make sure they do not contain synthetic fibers. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MicroplasticMonday #PlasticMicrofibers
