Seafloor sediment confirmed as a vast plastic pollution reservoir

Seafloor sediment has been confirmed as a vast plastic pollution reservoir, according to a world-first study by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. This is not a surface problem, plastic is accumulating in the deep, where it becomes part of the geological record. The finding is a measurable, empirical signal of our impact. Understanding where plastic settles, from the seafloor to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is foundational to integrated ocean stewardship.
