The primary objective of the research is to determine the level of microplastics and other anthropogenic pollutants in coastal zones, assess ecological risks, and contribute scientifically to sustainable coastal management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is being implemented by MSU Associate Professor and Faculty Dean Nushaba Gadimli together with MSU master\u2019s student and young researcher Ulvi Mammadov. The study, which applies modern laboratory methodologies, contributes to strengthening student\u2013research collaboration at the university and encourages the active involvement of young researchers in sustainable development initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is emphasized that the outcomes of the research will have practical significance in the areas of environmental awareness, biodiversity protection, and enhancing ecosystem resilience along the Caspian coastline.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientific research activities in the fields of the green economy and sustainable development continue to expand at Mingachevir State University.
