Microplastics Contamination and Ecological Risk Assessment in Natural and Afforested Mangrove Stands of Bahrain: Abundance, Polymer Composition, and Onshore–Offshore Variability
Mangrove ecosystems are ecologically important coastal habitats, yet data on microplastic (MP) contamination along Bahrain’s coasts remain scarce. This study investigated the abundance, characteristics, and ecological risks of MPs in sediments from four mangrove sites (12 stations) collected in 2025. MPs were extracted...
