Microplastics Cause Significant Issues For Greece's Marine Life

ATHENS, GREECE - JULY 15: A researcher selects microplastics found in sea species at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research near Athens on July 15, 2025 in Anavissos near Athens, Greece. Due to its densely populated coastlines, fishing and tourism, the Mediterranean sea is a hot spot for plastic pollution. A new study has found that the overwhelming majority of protein foods such as meat and fish are contaminated with microplastics. Among the tested samples, approximately 44% of the microplastics found were in the form of fibres. An additional third of the particles were in the form of plastic fragments.
