Summary

This study collected intertidal sediment samples from a sandy beach in Charleston Harbor estuary, South Carolina, every one to two days over a 17-day period to examine short-term temporal and spatial variability in microplastic abundance and distribution. The dataset characterizes how microplastic concentrations fluctuate over short timescales in estuarine beach sediments.

Study Type Environmental

To investigate small-scale temporal and spatial variability in microplastic abundance and distribution, microplastics were collected from the intertidal zone of a sandy beach in the Charleston Harbor estuary, South Carolina, every 1 to 2 days over a 17-day period.
