The increasing contamination of microplastics (MPs) in marine environments poses significant risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health, particularly in sea salt production. This study aimed to develop a sustainable coconut coir filter to remove MPs from seawater at sea salt farms. Experiments were conducted using a batch glass column (10 cm × 10 cm × 40 cm) containing cleaned Coconut coir, supported by layers of gravel (10 cm) and sand (4 cm).

Land cover changes are a prominent driver of environmental changes, impacting various ecosystem components, including soil properties and the dynamics of natural resources, such as the soil particle sizes and the organic carbon stock. The aim of this research study was to define the influence of environmental factors on a set of soil physical and chemical properties (pH, electrical conductivity, bulk density, soil texture, and nitrogen and soil c
