Coral and water samples for microplastic concentration determination from USVI and Florida

The data provided information on site collection such as GPS coordinates and depth for coral and water samples collected in the field. Data also provides measurement of coral tissue surface area of corals sampled for the field needed to standardize data.

This dataset is associated with the following publication: Hankins, C., D. Lasseigne, S. Davis, K. Edwards, and J. Paul. Coral reef attributes associated with microplastic exposure. CORAL REEFS. Springer, New York, NY, USA, 44(1): 193-207, (2024).
