Popis:	Plastics pose a major threat to aquatic ecosystems especially in smaller size fractions. Salt marshes play a crucial role in maintaining the coastal zone and aquatic food web, yet their contamination, including by plastic materials, is still poorly investigated. This work investigated meso- (MEP, 5-25 mm) and microplastic (MIP, 1 μm-5 mm) contamination of a salt marsh, which reached average levels of 279.63 ± 410.12 items kg
