Abstract

In the past decades, the use of plastic, particularly single-use plastics, has greatly increased. Guyana is among the developing countries struggling to deal with this new wave of plastic consumption, resulting in indiscriminate dumping and extensive pollution of the environment. This study was designed to determine the abundance and distribution of microplastics and macroplastics at the Greenfield mangrove site, East Coast Demerara, Guyana.
