Plastic pollution in the oceans is now a severe environmental threat, with social and economic consequences. The problem is such, that it has been listed by the UN as part of “SDG14”; one of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The presented research is based on a literature review of the nature of plastic, its history and development, the relation of plastic with fungi, and the concept of mycoremediation. The project also includes a hands-on experiment

By looking into theory on conservation initiatives, like the Ramsar Convention…
