海报摘要

The marine protected areas near the populated and industralized areas are susceptible for the presence of marine plastic debris resulting from anthropogenic activities. This study focuses on the presence of MPs in the sediment beds around coral reef of MPNPs in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Most of the MPs are secondary in origin resulting from man-made and tourists activities.
