Summary

This dataset compiles published data on macro-litter and microplastic abundance, distribution, composition, and sources along the East Pacific coast from Alaska to Chile. The dataset supports a review of plastic pollution in this region and identifies local human activities as the dominant source, reinforcing the need for local management solutions.

Dataset containing data on abundance, distribution, composition and sources of marine litter (macrolitter and microplastics) along the East Pacific region, generated by reviewing all the peer-reviewed literature published for the region until December 2022. The results of this literature review are presented in the manuscript "Macrolitter and microplastics along the East Pacific coasts – a homemade problem needing local solutions". All the data extracted from the literature are included in the sheets "MacroData" and "MicroData", corresponding to "macrolitter" and "microplastic" studies, respectively. The sheet "Legend_MacroData&MicroData" contains the metadata for the sheets "MacroData" and "MicroData". All the remaining sheets contain the data utilized for the elaboration of the graphs and figures presented in the manuscript.
