Resumen
The issue of pollution (at all levels) has gained strength during the last decades since it has had a negative impact on biodiversity, public health and recreational activities that take place in coastal areas among others (Thompson et al. 2009), therefore the conservation and protection of the environment has become on the subject of discussion and taking actions nowadays. The presence of waste solids along the coastal zone and at sea has become a problem every day more diligent, which has aroused the interest of governments and environmental entities of the world. Plastics are the most complex materials among the composition of garbage found, due to its long time to degrade and visual pollution that they leave in their wake while their stay on the site lasts. Another problem of plastics during the different processes of degradation, due among others to various natural factors (waves, wind, solar radiation, among others.), is its transformation into small pieces hardly visible to the naked eye, with the ability to float and accumulate toxic substances, becoming very easy to ingest materials for marine-coastal fauna
