Marine diversity is currently being threatened by plastic pollution in coastal areas, and despite the restrictions of human activities in Marine Protected Areas, these areas are becoming sinks for plastic debris. Here we present preliminary results from the overlap of micro-plastic items on the sea surface through surface trawls, ingested in pelagic and benthic fish and benthic marine invertebrates and micro-plastics in nearshore sediments via sediment grabs in Cabrera Marine-Terrestrial National Park located in the Balearic Islands in Spain. Samples were collected at three sites during the 2019 summer campaign, integrating various degrees of restrictions from day/night anchoring to no navigation permitted. It is essential to the integration of samples within the same areas to identify potential overlap in the items in the different compartments. Preliminary results have identified the presence of microplastic items in all compartments of the study area: sea surface-biota-seafloor highlighting the depth of the current microplastic threat in marine ecosystems. These preliminary results have identified an overlap of items within their diet and on the seafloor and sea surface, an indication of intake through the passive ingestion of while feeding on seafloor sediments or those suspended in the first layer of the sea surface. Initial results show that despite the protection status and the restrictions enforced within MPA, plastic debris is a persistent impact.
