Microplastic concentrations on the beaches of Holbox Island, Mexico from 2018-05-18 to 2018-05-19 (NCEI Accession 0278269)
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m2) on the beaches of Holbox Island, Mexico from 2018-05-18 to 2018-05-19. Microplastic data were collected using a PVC cylinder. This dataset contains the results from all 40 beach sand samples, in a spreadsheet format.
