Abstract
Nine sampling stations were fixed to carry out the preliminary investigation on coastal debris from Nallathanni island, Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve, Southeast coast of India. The coastal debris were separated and identified using hand picking, visual identification and microscopic studies. The coastal areas of the study region were less dominated by micro plastic contamination. The coastal debris was dominated by polyethylene bottles and fibrous fishnet materials. The distribution of the coastal debris along the coastal region is chiefly controlled by winnowing action of sea waves and Aeolian action along the berm region.
