Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
"This is particularly worrying at a time when plastics are becoming a more and more common substrate for marine organisms."
“This discovery emphasizes the significant role of marine litter in facilitating the spread of invasive species, potentially disrupting the ecological balance of Indian waters,” said Dr. Gunasekaran Kannan, the first author of the study. The scientists conducted a thorough analysis of fouling organisms on a range of stranded litter materials, including plastic, glass, rubber, foam sponge, fabric, metal, and wood. A surprising realization emerged from their painstaking work: 3,130 specimens/colonies representing 17 species and seven phyla were present on the polluting items, attaching themselves and contaminating them.
