Data on the microplastic distribution (microfragments and microfibers) in the different stations sampled along the Pletera beach
File description:
1- MP Concentration
Columns A-G: Data of microplastic contamination obtained in survey 1 in la Pletera Beach. This survey was conducted on the 3rd of November of 2023. Column A: Sampling stations for survey 1 Columns B-E: number of Microplastics (fib as fibres and frag as fragments) in items of microplastics per Kg of sediment. Columns F and G: Standard deviation of the number of Microplastics in columns B-E. Columns J-O: Data of microplastic contamination obtained in survey 1 in la Pletera Beach. This survey was conducted on the 3rd of June of 2025. Column J: Sampling stations for survey 2 Columns L-M: number of Microplastics (fib as fibres and frag as fragments) in items of microplastics per Kg of sediment. Columns N-O: Standard deviation of the number of Microplastics in columns B-E.
2- Sampling points localization
This dataset describes the map of Pletera Beach with the sampling stations, including their geographic coordinates: latitude (column B) and longitude (column C).
3- Sediment granulometry
Column A: Sampling station for survey 1 (3rd of November of 2023). Column B-C: Median of the particle size distribution of sediment samples (in micrometres) for survey 1 (3rd of November of 2023). Column G: Sampling station for survey 2 (3rd of June of 2025). Column I: Median of the particle size distribution of sediment samples (in micrometres) for survey 2 (3rd of June of 2025).
