文摘

Significant variation in methods exists when quantifying microplastics on beaches. These variations impede efforts to compare across studies. A literature review was used to identify key areas which require standardization. A case-study was used to determine impacts of these key methodological variations. Based on the outcomes, a standard operating procedure was developed.
