A groundbreaking study has found microplastics embedded in the skeletons of coral reefs. Researchers discovered that these small plastic particles, originating from human activities, are making their way into coral structures. This discovery raises concerns about the long-term health of coral ecosystems, as microplastics can disrupt the growth and reproduction of marine organisms. The study emphasizes the need for immediate action to reduce plastic waste and protect vulnerable marine ecosystems from further degradation.
