English title:	Preliminary study Using Raman spectroscopy for identified MPs ingested by zooplankton in Colombia's Caribbean region.
Spanish title:	Estudio preliminar usando espectroscopia Raman para identificar MPs ingeridos por zooplancton en la regi�n Caribe de Colombia.
English abstract:	Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic fragments ranging in size from 1 to 5,000 �m, originating from the chemical or physical degradation of larger plastic products or intentionally manufactured for incorporation into personal hygiene products, detergents, and so forth. These MPs represent a growing threat to marine ecosystems, but their impact on marine protected areas (MPA) remains poorly understood. This study highlights preliminary results obtained through the use of Raman spectroscopy, which allows the chemical identification of MPs ingested by zooplankton. The sampling was carried out during the dry season of March 2022 in two important AMP located in the Caribbean region of Colombia. These results contribute substantially to our understanding of microplastic dynamics in these invaluable marine protected environments.
Spanish abstract:	Los micropl�sticos (MPs) son peque�os fragmentos con tama�o de 1-5.000 �m, procedentes de la degradaci�n qu�mica o f�sica de productos de mayor tama�o o fabricados intencionadamente para su incorporaci�n a productos de higiene personal, detergentes, etc. Estos MPs representan una amenaza creciente para los ecosistemas marinos, pero su impacto en estas �reas marinas protegidas (AMP) sigue siendo poco conocido. Este estudio destaca los resultados preliminares obtenidos mediante el uso de espectroscopia Raman, que permite la identificaci�n qu�mica de MPs ingeridos por el zooplancton. El muestreo se realiz� durante la estaci�n seca de marzo de 2022 en dos AMP ubicadas en la regi�n Caribe. Estos resultados contribuyen sustancialmente a nuestra comprensi�n de la din�mica de los micropl�sticos en los ambientes marinos protegidos.
