Between April and November 2018, 20 microplastic (MPs) samples were collected at 8 sampling stations in French Mediterranean coast from Port-Cros to Banyuls as well as upstream the Rhône River. MPs were found in every sample with variable concentrations, size range and colors. Concentrations ranged from 11 items (Port-Cros) to 15 178 items (Port-Saint-Louis low salinity, PS). The samples with the highest MPs count originate from PS and the Bay of Marseille. MPs count in Spring and Autumn results in 217 (± 12,3) and 351 (± 4,3) respectively for the Bay and particles >1 000 μm dominated sampling stations during both seasons, while PS samples showed greater variability in size distribution. The site PS, near the Rhône River, has the most fiber...
