Language: English Typology: 1.01 - Original Scientific Article Organization: NIB - National Institute of Biology Abstract: This is the first survey to investigate the occurrence and extent of microplastic contamination in sediments collected during the autumn of 2019 at five locations from the coastal area of the Boka Kotorska Bay on the Montenegrin coast. Microparticles in sediments were isolated by density separation in saturated aqueous NaCl-solutions and visually analyzed using an Olympus SZX16 microscope. Microplastic debris extracted from five samples of sediments were counted. The primary shape types by number were: filaments (78.61 %), fragments (8.56 %), granules (7.22 %), and films (5.61). All five sites sampled in 2019 were contaminated with microplastic particles, in the following sequence: Dobrota (68.72 %) > Bijela (12.57 %) > Tivat (7.75 %) > Sveta Nedjelja (6.42 %) > Orahovac (4.55 %).
