Suva, Fiji. July 2, 2020 – Microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in the waters of Fiji and through seafood consumed, they pose a risk to human health and to Mother Earth, a Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) Programme funded Master of Science scholarship recipient at the University of the South Pacific, Andrew Paris, has found.
MP’s are tiny pieces of invisible plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean and are less than 5mm in size.
