Microplastics (MP) are becoming increasingly present in freshwater systems due to improper disposal of plastic products, leachates from landfills, and incomplete removal from wastewater treatment plants. This study examines the presence of MPs in freshwater fish intestines in the NYS Hudson Watershed. In response to Covid-19 we wrote a review aiming to harmonize methodologies, compare MP contamination in fish species, and provide parameters with GIS that aid in focusing study areas.
