El microplástico y la contaminación del mar

Abstract

Studies carried out by the university of Oxford during 2015, in which the presence of Microplastics in the marine environment around the world is examined, indicate that contamination by these particles has increased substantially and the fate of microplastics is increasingly more and more diverse. The present work contains a study of 15 articles that investigate contamination by Microplastics, as well as interviews, audiovisuals, and other resources, for the compilation of information and subsequent production of eleven radio capsules with an informative scientific-informative purpose, to raise awareness among the community on the pollution of marine ecosystems and its consequences. Through this research, causes and effects of Microplastics in the marine environment are addressed. From a qualitative methodological approach, the argumentation and documentary review is developed, which is complemented with the specialized data provided by the public institute for aquaculture and fisheries research (ipiap), which allows an adequate triangulation of the data collected.
