I wonder they are called micro plastics. These plastic particles are so small that some can’t be seen by the naked eye, but they still cause problems for animals that eat them by accident. What happened? Is that the plastic which ends up in the ocean is slowly broken into more and more pieces because of sunlight and the action of being tossed in the waves.
All marine life is affected by micro plastics and scientists are still trying to measure the impact.
