It accumulates marine plastics of every size and shape, which eventually break down into smaller pieces forming microplastics, defined as plastic fragments which are just visible to the naked eye (ie shorter than 5mm in diameter). In fact, in certain parts of the Mediterranean, fine particulate matter exceeds 100 micrograms per cubic metre. This is much higher than the global average of 39.6 micrograms per cubic metre.
