Abstract Our oceans are in an ecological crisis due to their contamination with millions of tons of toxic microplastic particles. In just a few years, the volume of microplastic particles will exceed that of plankton in our oceans and turn them into a huge sea of plastic. This publication brings together numerous international art projects related to environmental activities, DIY biotechnology, and science, and draws attention to the irreversible destruction of our marine ecosystems - the current threat posed by the loss of marine animal biodiversity, for example, or the decline in oxygen production due to massive plankton loss. It also presents current scientific findings on sustainable alternatives to plastic.
Abstract Unsere Weltmeere befinden sich aufgrund ihrer Durchsetzung mit Millionen Tonnen toxischer Mikroplastikpartikel in einer ̲kologischen Krise: In nur wenigen Jahren wird der Anteil von Mikroplastikpartikeln den Anteil von Plankton in unseren Meeren ersteigen und diese in ein riesiges Plastikmeer verwandeln. Die Publikation versammelt zahlreiche internationale Kunstprojekte im Umfeld von Umweltaktivit̃ten, DIY-Biotechnologie und Wissenschaft und lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf die irreversiblen Folgen der Zerst̲rung unserer marinen kosysteme - die aktuelle Bedrohung durch den Verlust der Artenvielfalt der marinen Tierwelt etwa oder den R kgang der Sauerstoffproduktion durch massiven Planktonverlust. Dar er hinaus pr̃sentiert sie aktuelle naturwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse er nachhaltige Alternativen zu Plastik.
