Future monitoring of litter and microplastics in the Arctic – challenges, opportunities and strategies
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme has published a plan and guidelines for the monitoring of litter and mi-croplastics (MP) in the Arctic. Here, we look beyond suggestions for immediate monitoring and discuss challenges, opportuni-ties, and future strategies in the long-term monitoring o...
