Impacts of Plastic Pollution on Ecosystem Services, Sustainable Development Goals, and Need to Focus on Circular Economy and Policy Interventions
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Plastic waste exposed to the environment creates problems and is of significant concern for all life forms. Plastic production…
Presence of Microplastics and Organic Pollutants in Bangladesh's Freshwater Environment: A Review
Water pollution is an alarming concern in developing nations like Bangladesh, where the majority of people rely on water resources both directly and indirectly. Microplastics (MP) and organic…

Cleaner seas: reducing marine pollution
TLDR
This review draws upon the expertise of 17 experts from the fields of social sciences, marine science, visual arts, and Traditional and First Nations Knowledge Holders to present two futures; the Business-As-Usual, based on current trends and observations of growing marine pollution, and a More Sustainable Future, which imagines what their ocean could look like if the authors implemented current knowledge and technologies.

Impacts of Biodiversity Loss on Ocean Ecosystem Services
Human-dominated marine ecosystems are experiencing accelerating loss of populations and species, with largely unknown consequences. We analyzed local experiments, long-term regional time series, and…
Interactions of microplastic debris throughout the marine ecosystem
TLDR
The concept of microplastic as a complex, dynamic mixture of polymers and additives, to which organic material and contaminants can successively bind to form an ‘ecocorona’, increasing the density and surface charge of particles and changing their bioavailability and toxicity is developed.
Biodiversity and human well-being: an essential link for sustainable development
TLDR
It is suggested that a consensus framework for sustainable development should include biodiversity explicitly as a suite of internal variables that both influence and are influenced by HWB, and can inadvertently lead to a ratcheting down of biodiversity by otherwise well-meaning policies.

Factors That Can Undermine the Psychological Benefits of Coastal Environments
TLDR
It was shown that litter can undermine the psychological benefits that the coast ordinarily provides, thus demonstrating that, in addition to environmental costs of marine litter, there are also costs to people.
Current Status and Future Prospects for the Assessment of Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Services: A Systematic Review
TLDR
The cataloging of MCES indicators and the integrated classification ofMCES provided in this paper establish a background that can facilitate the planning and integration of future assessments and establish a consistent structure and populate it with information able to support the implementation of biodiversity conservation policies.
