Cover Story: Microplastics, particles less than 5 mm in length, are found globally, from remote mountains to ocean floors, and in both rainwater and drinking water. Addressing the causes of, consequences of, and solutions for microplastic pollution requires a convergence approach, in which academics, policymakers, and community partners co-identify the problem, co-design research, and co-produce knowledge. In this article, interdisciplinary scientists investigated the perceptions of microplastic pollution among different end users, delivered educational materials to K-12 teachers and practitioners, and identified key sampling points for assessing environmental microplastic concentrations in the Columbia River Basin, United States. View this paper
