Presence of microplastics in water, sediments and fish species in an urban coastal environment of Fiji, a Pacific small island developing state.

Microplastics (MP) in the marine environment are widely reported. However, MP occurrence in some geographical areas such as from Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is missing. The main aim of this study was to assess MP levels in the urban coastal environment of Suva, the capital of the Republic of Fiji.
