It was created in the wake of the Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969, during which nearly 11 million litres of oil was released into the Pacific Ocean, seriously disrupting biodiversity. Oil slicks can suffocate aquatic ecosystems by blocking oxygen exchange, making it difficult for marine life to survive. In addition, oil contaminants can accumulate in the tissues of organisms\u2014a process known as bioaccumulation. When these contaminated organisms are consumed by predators, the concentration of pollutants can increase at each level of the food chain. This phenomenon, known as biomagnification, can ultimately lead to these harmful substances ending up on our plates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-d63a3fb2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, <a href=\"https:\/\/jourdelaterre.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Earth Day Canada<\/a> is shining a light on biodiversity. Derived from the prefix <em>bio<\/em> (from the Greek \u03b2\u03af\u03bf\u03c2\/<em>b\u00edos<\/em>, meaning \u201clife\u201d) and the word <em>diversity<\/em>, biodiversity refers to all living species, the ecosystems they live in, and their complex interactions with their environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ecotoxicology<\/strong>, the study of how contaminants behave and impact the environment, plays a key role in preserving biodiversity.

Composed of microorganisms embedded in a matrix, this biofilm is critical for biodiversity and the proper functioning of freshwater ecosystems. In addition to forming the foundation of the food chain, it contributes up to 25% of the planet\u2019s total primary production. While it is already known that biofilms can use plastic debris as a colonization substrate\u2014forming what is known as the <strong>plastisphere<\/strong>\u2014their ability to <strong>trap<\/strong> this debris within their matrix remains under-researched. Understanding this trapping potential is crucial, as it could significantly influence the health and overall functioning of aquatic ecosystems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n    \n    <div class=\"content-slider-ctn\">\n        <!-- Slider main container -->\n        <div class=\"swiper-container\">\n            <!-- Additional required wrapper -->\n            <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\n                <!-- Slides -->\n                                    <div class=\"swiper-slide slide-img\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biofilm-algal-sur-substrat-rocheux-1200x780.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"legend \">\n                                <p>Biofilm algal sur substrat rocheux.
