The Mediterranean is an ecosystem that faces more and more microplastic pollution every day. This causes the whole of the Mediterranean to face the negative effects of plastic pollution. This study examines the state of plastic debris and fouling organisms found on it in one of the areas most affected by plastic pollution, Mersin Bay. As a result, a total of 3.88kg plastic (mean=0,97kg; n=120; 2670item/km; 86,3kg/km) was collected and based on the ATR-FTIR analysis, it was determined that this total contained 9 types of plastics. 17 different fouling species belonging to 6 phylum (Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Mollusca) 7 class and 11 order were discovered on plastics. Spirobranchus triqueter, Hydroides sp. and Neopycnodonte cochlear were the most abundant species. In the end, the example of Mersin Bay shows that plastic debris as a substrate can contain a very high diversity of life just like natural substrates.
地中海每天都面临着越来越多的微塑料污染，这导致整个地中海都受到塑料污染的负面影响。本研究调查了在受塑料污染最严重的地区之一梅尔辛湾（Mersin Bay）发现的塑料碎片和污损生物的状况。结果共收集了 3.88 公斤塑料（平均值=0.97 公斤；n=120；2670 件/公里；86.3 公斤/公里），根据 ATR-FTIR 分析，确定这总共含有 9 种塑料。在塑料上发现了属于 6 个门（环节动物门、节肢动物门、苔藓动物门、脊索动物门、刺胞动物门、软体动物门）的 17 种不同的污损物种，7 纲和 11 目。棘冠海星、Hydroides sp. 和 Neopycnodonte cochlear 是最丰富的物种。最后，梅尔辛湾的例子表明，塑料碎片作为基质可以包含非常高的生物多样性，就像天然基质一样。
