Paint Dust Covers the Upper Layer of the World's Oceans
sciencehabit (1205606) writes Even when the sea looks clean, its surface can be flecked with tiny fragments of paint and fiberglass. That's the finding from a study that looked for plastic pollution in the uppermost millimeter of ocean.

That appears to come as standard with environmentalism.
Could threaten zooplankton doesn't mean it will or is likely to.
It also dosn't rule out the possibility of some benefit either.

That is unlikely to be PC.
