Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Una gran preocupación mundial es el impacto ambiental que causa la contaminación de residuos sólidos plásticas en las áreas marítimas. Esta cuestión ha sido ampliamente estudiada en los países aledaños a la Zona Marítima de la Organización Regional para la Protección del Medio Marino (ROPME) donde actualmente existe un amplio y rápido crecimiento demográfico y económico, lo cual ha ocasionado un considerable deterioro de los ecosistemas costeros. En este documento se describen generalidades de los residuos plásticos en el área del ROPME y características de estos desechos. Mediante la revisión bibliográfica, se analizan los impactos medioambientales al medio marino causado por los diferentes tipos de desechos según su tamaño y como se afecta la fauna y flora. Así mismo, se recomienda la implementación de planes de acción regionales y nacionales para abordar la amenaza creciente de contaminación y fomentar la prosperidad socioeconómica y ambiental de la zona marítima de estudio, con la participación de las partes interesadas y la utilización de la legislación reguladora.
