Marine microplastic pollution just as ocean acidification and greenhouse effect has attracted much environmental concern become a hot research subject for marine researchers globally. The abundances, distribution, characteristics of microplastics in surface seawater sediments from Dapeng Cove were investigated this study. results indicated that the abundance was 1333 ± 773 items/m 3 1381 1021 items/kg sediments, showing medium level compared with other sea areas. Fibers prevailing shapes both representing 65.4% 52.1% total numbers, respectively. Moreover, small (<1mm) accounted 69.6% 62.2%, According to identification by Fourier Transform Infrared microscope (micro-FTIR), main composition polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). It is necessary enhance regulation current plastic products used aquaculture, reduce production release during mariculture process, develop alternatives fishing gear. study suggested long-term development had caused accumulation large amount water Cove. We constructed first basic data about This will serve reference further studies distribution migration zones.

One of the difficult and well-known pollutants that has a negative impact on human health is Microplastics (MPs). This study's primary goal to present state our understanding evidence, quantification, origin, effects MPs in Godavari River. According quantitative analysis investigation (digestion, separation, filtration, characterization), mean MP concentration river was found be 3.9 items/L (3900 Items/m3). were at all six sites, with concentrations ranging from 6.5 2.2 (6500–2200 items/m3). The most prevalent shape fiber (81.5 %), followed by foam (13.2%), fragments (4.4%), film (0.7%). colors observed blue (26%), Transparent (25%), pink (17%), yellow (9%), black (8%), white (6%), green (3%), red (2%), violet From chemical characterization ATR-FTIR, polymers detected polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density (LDPE), (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) ABS, EVA, (polystyrene) PS, nylon. Urban areas have higher than less populated areas. Through direct or indirect consumption, River may risk agriculture, living beings. current study adds pollution provides baseline data can used assess precise mitigation.
