Extended Data Fig. 3: NMDS analysis of the abundance of distinct categories and sizes of anthropogenic debris organized in relation to levels of habitat complexity and depth zones of coral reefs.
The composition of plastics here is separated into fifteen classes: five size classes for each of three debris types. ‘plastics’ = all non-fishing-related plastics, ‘fishing’ = all fishing related plastics, ‘other’ = all non-plastic debris. Size 1 = 5 – 10 cm, Size 2 = 10 – 25 cm, Size 3 = 25 – 50 cm, Size 4 = 50 – 100 cm, and Size 5 = >100 cm.
