Passive Retention of Plastic Pellets and Microplastics by Coconut Fiber in a Mangrove-Supporting Floating Island in an Urban Estuary

Plastic pollution is a growing concern in urban estuarine environments, where hydrodynamic conditions and structural features of vegetated habitats can promote the interception and accumulation of plastic debris. This study evaluated the coconut-fiber matrix of a mangrove-based f...
