AB  - This study evaluated in the dry and rainy periods, the anthropogenic influence 
      and the hydrodynamics in the distribution of plastic items in surface waters and 
      bottom and beach sediments of the Jurujuba (Guanabara Bay, low and medium 
      hydrodynamic) and Itaipu (oceanic region, high hydrodynamics) embayments; places 
      of cultivation and extraction of mussels. Microplastics were 83% of the wastes 
      collected, with a higher average concentration (138.41 items.kg(-1)) in beach 
      sediments. High density polyethylene (HDPE) (38%), polypropylene (21%), and 
      styrene (10%) were the most frequent polymers. There was no difference between 
      the water and bottom sediment samples in the different embayments, in the studied 
      periods, different from that observed in the beach sediment samples, with higher 
      concentrations in the rainy season in Jurujuba. The results suggest that beach 
      sediments are the best compartment to understand the dynamics of the distribution 
      of plastic waste over time.
