Description
Summary:An investigation of microplastic abundance and its characteristics was conducted in Muara Angke Wildlife Reserve, a relic mangrove forest in the Jakarta metropolitan, to contribute to marine microplastics' national data inventory. Microplastics were found in all the stations, with an average of 28.09 ± 10.28 particles per kg of dry sediment (n kg−1). Sediments in the outside mangrove area contained more microplastics than the inside area. Foam form was the most dominant in all the samples and was found more abundant on the outside. More than half of microplastics were of size
