Research Data supporting "High macroplastic pollution in a subtropical urban lake affects macroinvertebrate community structure"

Data on plastic samples collected from Dhanmondi Lake, Dhaka, as well as macroinvertebrate communities collected from both within plastic samples (labelled 'plastic') and within underlying sediment (labelled 'kick'). Macroinvertebrates are classified to family level and counts of each family within each sample are given. Sample numbers are consistent between the two datasets (plastics and macroinvertebrates) and refer to sampling sites within Dhanmondi Lake.
