Macro or only micro
The Term "plastic soup" seems to be used both to refer to marine plastic pollution in general, and to the insidious and pervasive microplastics only. Difficult, and needs more work and sources. PamD 11:23, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Dominika's Peer Review
This article is very impressive, it is neutral, states the key points in the introduction, and is cited well. I would consider separating the article into subheadings if you wanted to develop it further. The last paragraph might sound better if placed below the second paragraph. The flow of writing is very good and does not favour a certain point of view. There is a clear structure and balanced coverage. There is a great range of sources from primary to secondary. Overall very well done!
