Abstract
he goal of this study is to establish an in-depth monthly trend of the amount and type of microplastics analyzed within sponge tissues to determine which month had the highest abundance of microplastics, and a concrete trend can be supported in order to create a better understanding of how the amount of microplastics change naturally overtime in marine ecosystems. Additionally, DNA barcoding will be employed on the sponge tissue sample to determine the taxonomic identification of the demosponge collected.
