DISTRIBUTION OF MICROPLASTICS IN COASTAL SURFACE WATERS AT BROOKE’S POINT, PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES

Coastal surface water samples obtained from 11 sites at Brooke’s Point, Palawan, were subjected to sieving and visual analysis of microplastics. Microplastics were detected in all samples, with blue fiber-shaped particles being the most abundant. Variations in the mean concentration of microplastics...
