Abstract
Los microplásticos son una forma de contaminación marina, por ello, se debe identificar su presencia en ecosistemas como las playas, activos ambientales de valor económico que ofrecen diferentes servicios a la población. El presente trabajo identifica y clasifica los microplásticos en 12 playas de tipo urbano, sub-urbanos, rural y natural, ubicadas en los estados de Colima y Jalisco, México. Se colectaron, analizaron y clasificaron un total de 94 muestras de sedimento en la línea de pleamar, identificando mediante flotación e inspección visual un total de 12,001 microplásticos que fueron clasificados por forma, color y tamaño. Los resultados revelan que la presencia de microplásticos en playas naturales o rurales con escaso desarrollo o poco accesibles presentan niveles comparables a las urbanas y suburbanas. Esto muestra que el desplazamiento de estos contaminantes no tiene factores ambientales o antropogénicos limitantes, lo que requiere especial atención ante sus potenciales efectos en los ambientes marinos y costeros
 
Microplastics (Mps) are a form of marine pollution; therefore, their presence must be identified in ecosystems such as beaches, environmental assets of economic value that offer different services to the population. The present work identifies and classifies microplastics in 12 urban, suburban, rural and natural beaches located in the states of Colima and Jalisco, Mexico. A total of 94 sediment samples were collected, analyzed and classified at the high tide line, identifying by flotation and visual inspection a total of 12,001 plastic particles that were classified by shape, color and size. The results reveal that the presences of microplastics on natural or rural beaches that are poorly developed or inaccessible have levels comparable to urban and suburban beaches. This shows that the movement of these contaminants has no limiting environmental or anthropogenic factors, which requires special consideration because of their potential effects on marine and coastal environments.
