Plastic litter in macrophyte system: environmental fate and ecological implications
Project mission
Project mission
SCARP is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie project that uncovers what really happens to plastic litter trapped in coastal seaweed beds. We trace how microplastics move between algae, surrounding sediments and the food web, and test how plastic particles and their leachates affect seaweed health, nutrient cycling and habitat resilience.
