Microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic less than 5 millimeters in length floating in the world's oceans, are attracting attention. As a result of a survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment last summer, it was reported for the first time that microplastics are drifting widely in the waters surrounding Japan. There have been reports of fish, shellfish, and seabirds accidentally ingesting them, and researchers are concerned about their impact on the food chain.
