Background:
For a very long time, plastic has been a significant ocean contaminant. According to Eriksen et al. (2014), 5.25 trillion particles of plastic were thought to be floating across the world’s oceans in 2014. Microplastics are a significant category of ocean plastics (Andrady, 2011). Microplastics, which can range in size from 1 m to 5 mm, are produced when physical and chemical stress on plastic causes it to break down into smaller pieces (Gillibert et al., 2019).
They can also be created for industrial purposes, such as in paints, clothing, and cosmetics (Hale et al., 2020; De Falco et al., 2019, Fendall and Sewell, 2009). Microplastics are produced using various toxic chemicals and can absorb harmful toxins within marine environments (Lusher et al., 2017). As a result, they can be harmful to marine ecosystems when introduced to food webs (Setälä et al., 2014).
Eligibility for the Microplastic Honours Scholarship:
- Applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree in Biology, Environmental Sciences or Chemistry (or be about to complete their degree).
- Candidates must enroll in an Honours Degree (on this microplastic project) starting in 2023 at Flinders University.
