Ocean filter feeders like the giant manta ray cannot tell the difference between zooplankton and microplastics. Microplastics can easily enter food webs because of their extremely tiny size, and can be consumed by zooplankton which are then ingested by mantas, or consumed directly by mantas as microplastics are mistaken for zooplankton. Even with a close up under the microscope, can you tell the difference?
