Threats Underestimated in Freshwater Plastic Pollution: Mini-Review

Résumé

Plastic pollution is one of the most acute environmental topics of our time. While there is a great scientific effort to tackle this problem, it has not always been well-coordinated or properly targeted. In this short review we call for scientists to get involved in three crucial topics (threats) underestimated-or ignored-in freshwater systems: i) plastic-species entanglement, ii) plastic as nesting material and iii) macroplastic debris coming from mismanaged household solid waste. Reducing the knowledge gaps between marine and freshwater environments will be crucial to solute the plastic pollution problem effectively and globally. Therefore, we make a plea here to reinforce research activities on these three issues in freshwater environments worldwide.
