  • Plastic pollution in brackish waters: Macroalgae as collectors of plastic debris. Fabrizi, Francesca Spagnuolo, Damiano Bottari, Teresa Mghili, Bilal Branca, Caterina Punzo, Elisa Mazurkiewicz, Mikołaj Nibali, Valeria Conti Genovese, Giuseppa D'Angelo, Giovanna Mancuso, Monique Plastics Water Pollutants, Chemical Seaweed Environmental Monitoring Saline Waters Microplastics Transitional waters, like the Capo Peloro lagoon, are ecologically and commercially valuable but particularly vulnerable to plastic pollution. This study investigates, for the first time, how two bloom-forming macroalgae, Chaetomorpha aerea and Hypnea cornuta, trap plastic debris in Ganzirri lake (Capo Peloro lagoon). Both species acted as natural traps for plastics, ranging from macroplastics (> 25 mm) to microplastics (
