The abundance and distribution of Macro- (> 2.5 cm) and microplastics (1-5 mm) at three different habitats were documented. Particle size analysis on the sediment of each habitat were carried out to characterize the habitat. Macroplastics and microplastics were found at all study sites. Macroplas...
