Due to the increasing plastic production in the world, it is predicted that the amount of microplastic will increase in the future in all ecosystems in the world, especially in aquatic ecosystems. It is obvious that the negative effects of this pollution will increase in the same way. In this section, the coastal ecosystem, which is an important part of aquatic ecosystems, and the status of microplastic pollution in beaches, estuarine regions and sea meadows, which are important parts of this ecosystem, have been compiled from recent publications.
