Abstract
    The plastic crisis affects the entire world, regardless of where the plastic is made or where it enters the oceans. This chapter details how plastics become microplastics and the effects microplastics have on the marine life, humans, and environment. Issues of plastic pollution around the globe are commonly known but the categorization of plastics by size is new. Macro-, micro-, and nanoplastics each pose unique risks to human health. Each are deposited and created in the oceans by various methods. No single solution will mediate the effects of all three categories of plastics.
