Towards a management strategy for microplastic pollution in the Laurentian Great Lakes – Ecological risk assessment and management (part 2) 

K.E. Hataley et al. Canadian Journal of Fisheries 7 Aquatic Sciences 80 (10), 1669-1678, 2023 - Over the past decade, plastic pollution has been documented throughout the Laurentian Great Lakes basin. Here, we demonstrate the application of a published ecological risk assessment and management framework for microplastics in aquatic environments by comparing proposed thresholds for risk to monitoring data from the Great Lakes region.
