Abstract
The review is devoted to the study of marine environmental pollution by microplastics and its negative impact on fish resources, food security and human health. Numerous studies are presented demonstrating the presence of microplastics in marine ecosystems and its effect on various types of marine organisms, including fish. The ways of microplastics penetration into food chains are described and possible consequences for human health are considered. The importance of continuing research and developing comprehensive measures to reduce the negative impact of microplastics on marine ecosystems and human health is emphasized.
