That\u2019s nothing new. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/plastics-companies-writing-lesson-plans-what-could-go-wrong\/\" class=\"text link\">Plastic waste<\/a> has been found in a variety of marine ecosystems, including beaches, coral reefs, and even some of the ocean\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/a-golden-orb-on-the-ocean-floor-came-from-a-mysterious-animal\/\" class=\"text link\">farthest depths<\/a>. While a precise measurement is difficult, it\u2019s estimated that several million metric tons of plastic lie on the seafloor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Scientists have been recording marine animals entangled in or consuming plastic debris for over half a century, some even proposing the term \u201cPlastocene\u201d (the Plastic Age) to denote the geological epoch spanning from the 1950s onward. And now researchers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0025326X26010970?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">have discovered<\/a> a new way these substances are polluting the environment: Plastic is fusing with corals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The discovery of this conglomerate\u2014which researchers have dubbed \u201cplasticoral\u201d\u2014was made during a survey of the beaches of the Ryukyu Islands in southern Japan. The scientists noticed small, brightly colored spots embedded in the white coral gravel. They collected samples from three beaches on the main island, Okinawa, and brought them to the lab where spectroscopic analysis revealed there were polymers derived from common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/is-expensive-bottled-water-actually-better-for-you\/\" class=\"text link\">household plastics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Using micro-CT scans, the researchers determined that the polymers had melted into the microscopic pores in the fragments of coral skeleton, becoming so integrated that the two could no longer be separated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is also not the first time plastic has been found enmeshed with the natural world, though this phenomenon usually involves nonliving things like rocks. In 2019, another group of researchers found a thin layer of degraded plastic coating mussels and large algae in tide pools, which they called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0025326X24010981\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">plastiskin<\/a>,\u201d but this new study marks the first time plastic has been seen fused with corals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"GenericCalloutWrapper-loJzHJ gRJghk callout--has-top-border\" data-testid=\"GenericCallout\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Rock Rubble Ammunition Grenade Weapon and Outdoors\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_768,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6aba9f420bb37e68f569562e\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Sosu3.jpeg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-bpPcvW kzGGxb caption AssetEmbedCaption-eZIMNW gMgneI asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\"><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionText-cQpRdU gZqZYz hbiMYj caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlasticoral\u201d discovered at the site of a bonfire on Chushu Beach.

It forms a stable foundation for new corals to settle on, and the irregular shapes make essential hiding places for small marine organisms to protect themselves from strong currents and predators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">How exactly the plasticorals may impact their living bretheren is unknown, though previous research has shown that some chemicals that can leach from common plastics inhibit coral reproduction. Other studies have found that plastic fragments can carry pathogens to corals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Scientists are also not yet certain how the plastic is fusing with the corals. Though the temperatures of our oceans are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-oceans-just-keep-getting-hotter\/\" class=\"text link\">ever increasing<\/a>, they\u2019re not quite hot enough yet to melt plastic. Ultraviolet radiation can also contribute, but the researchers consider beach bonfires to be the leading candidate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/plastic-is-melting-onto-corals\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marine plastic pollution is rampant.
