This dataset summarises basic information about the microplastics studies: the location of the study; if the study focused on water, sediment or biota; the type of biota (for biotic studies); and the DOI of the publication. Although the primary focus of this study was restricted to southeastern Australia, studies collated from other regions have also been included in this dataset. The outcomes of the literature review for other regions (QLD, NT, SA, WA, Tas) should not be considered comprehensive. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[113.4, -42.99], [159.08, -42.99], [159.08, -12.04], [113.4, -12.04], [113.4, -42.99]]]} 113.4 159.08 -42.99 -12.04 Microplastics National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine and Coastal Hub DATA ACCESS - Microplastics studies synthesis [direct download] documentDigital XLSX NESP:NESP_MaC_1_18_Microplastics_studies documentDigital MAP - Location and type of microplastics studies (for use in desktop GIS) WMS View and interact with data in Seamap Australia portal documentDigital HTML Final Project Report documentDigital Reis-Santos P, Wootton N, Leterme S, Wilson S, Blewitt M, Swearer S, Noble W, Gillanders BM (2022) Microplastics in South Eastern Australian coastal waters: synthesising current data and identifying key knowledge gaps for the management of plastic pollution.
