Summary

This review briefly describes the principal approaches, methods, and procedures for sampling and analysing microplastics in marine environments including water columns, bottom sediments, and coastal deposits. Researchers outline key considerations for each environmental matrix to support consistent and comparable microplastic monitoring.

The basic approaches, methods, and procedures for collecting and analyzing samples of microplastics in a marine environment are briefly described.
