  AUTHORS: Thies Thiemann

  KEYWORDS: Plastic Pollution, Microplastics, Marine Environment, Beach, Sediment, Africa

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Environmental Protection, Vol.17 No.11, November 11, 2026

  ABSTRACT: Microplastics are an emerging contaminant of concern in African marine waters, posing potential risks to marine organisms and, through their incorporation into marine food webs, to human health. This study provides an overview of microplastic concentrations reported in African coastal sediments, nearshore waters, and offshore surface waters. In addition, the major sources and transport pathways of microplastics in African marine environments are discussed.
