Description
This dataset contains microplastics (MPs, 1 µm-5 mm) enumerated from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of bottlenose dolphins stranded in South Carolina, USA from 2017-2018 (initial study), and from stranded bottlenose dolphins (South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama), harbor porpoises (Maine and Washington), and a long-beaked common dolphin (Washington) from 2013-2019 (second study). Microplastics were counted in the GIT and were categorized by microplastic type and color. Individual dolphins and porpoises total length, sex, and stomach weight data are also included.
