The project Monitoring and Analysis of Plastic Pollution in Aquatic Environments (MappA) aims to implement a standardized methodology to comprehensively understand microplastics' presence, characteristics, and distribution within these water bodies. Building upon the successes of prior international collaborations (Nava et al. <span>2023</span>), Dr. Maria B. Alfonso, based at Kyushu University, Japan, is leading the collaborative effort. Engaging 51 experts in aquatic science from 31 renowned institutes and research centers across Argentina, MappA is currently developing an expansive microplastics study. This ambitious project encompasses 117 diverse study sites spanning 21 lakes, 25 shallow lakes, 7 reservoirs, 44 rivers, and 20 streams, covering most of the main watershed areas of the country (Fig. 1).</p><p>The global concern over environmental issues, particularly the increasing threat of plastic pollution, has compelled a focused investigation of its prevalence in aquatic systems. Initial microplastics research primarily focused on their prevalence in marine systems, dating back to the 1970s; the attention towards microplastics in freshwater habitats is a comparatively recent initiative that emerged in the last two decades. Due to their location in the landscape, freshwater systems can act as either pathways or sinks for microplastics that reach the systems by runoff or atmospheric deposition. Most research studies on freshwater environments have focused on the Global North, so Argentina's vast territory, characterized by varying climate and geography, offers a unique opportunity to analyze the challenges posed by the presence, abundance, and distribution of microplastics. In recent years, microplastic studies in the country have expanded, yet they remain limited and applied diverse sampling methodologies (e.g., Alfonso et al. <span>2020<i>a</i>, <i>b</i></span>; Kittner et al. <span>2022</span>; Buteler et al. <span>2023</span>; Garello et al. <span>2023</span>). The study sites included within MappA are located across the latitudinal extension of the country (covering an area of 2.8 million km<sup>2</sup> from 24°S to 54°S), encompassing an extensive gradient of human impact (e.g., from urban areas to remote Patagonia), and a wide variety of ecosystems (e.g., from subtropical to subantarctic; and from rainforest to deserts) with diverse freshwater bodies (Fig. 1).</p><p>Our main goal is to establish a coordinated monitoring program for Argentina's freshwater bodies. By employing a standardized methodology across sites, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of microplastics and the effect of climate and anthropogenic variables (detailed further below) on the presence, abundance, and distribution of mic","PeriodicalId":40008,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin","volume":"33 2","pages":"85-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lob.10641","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140907021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
