#Microplastics were found in all ten "no-take" zones studied—including Atol das Rocas, where no humans are allowed.

[2/5] En 2024, 20 millions de tonnes de sargasses ont envahi les plages caribéennes. En se décomposant, elles libèrent des gaz toxiques provoquant troubles respiratoires et évacuations, comme en Guadeloupe. Le tourisme et la pêche s’effondrent sous leur poids. #geography #marinepollution #sargassum
