Summary

This dataset presents measurements of pelagic microplastic concentrations from East Asian seas, identifying the region as a hotspot for floating plastic debris in the open ocean. The data support assessments of how plastic pollution accumulates in semi-enclosed marginal seas with dense coastal populations.
