Microplastics abundance in Kenya’s nearshore waters during 2020-01-03 to 2020-01-14 (NCEI Accession 0295694)

This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm) in Kenya’s nearshore waters during 2020-01-03 to 2020-01-14. Microplastics were collected with a 300 µm manta net at six locations. This dataset contains the results from all 6 microplastic samples, in a spreadsheet format.
