From Garbage Patch to Grocery Aisle: The Hidden Plastic Contamination in America's Pacific Seafood
Emerging research is drawing a direct line between the Pacific Ocean's vast accumulations of plastic waste and the seafood Americans consume daily. Scientists studying bioaccumulation patterns are uncovering how microplastic particles migrate from open-ocean garbage patches into commercially harvested fish and shellfish—and the findings are reshaping what we know about food safety. PAC Lab examines the latest data, the species most at risk, and what consumers can realistically do with this infor
