Besides climate change, plastic pollution and bioinvasions are currently among the most pervasive human-based threats to biodiversity (Molnar et al. 2008, Gall and Thompson 2015). Overall, plastic ingestion by marine animals, its toxicity, and the capability to take up and accumulate other toxins from the marine environment are some of the main reasons for increasing scientific attention. Recently, plastic debris was reported in the deep sea, indicating that anthropogenic effects are probably reaching even the most unexplored places on Earth.
