Summary
This study investigated microplastic distribution in beach wrack and stranded seagrass deposits along the Croatian Adriatic coast, finding high particle concentrations associated with organic debris accumulation zones. The strand line accumulation mechanism concentrates both organic and plastic marine debris, making wrack deposits significant microplastic hotspots on sandy beaches.
