The study evaluated the characteristics of marine litter disposed of by tourists on the Abaís beach (state of Sergipe, Brazil), during the dry (December/2017, January/2018, and February/2018) and rainy (May/2018, June/2018, and July/2018) months. Litter was collected on a Sunday of each month after the tourists left. The values of abundance (9.71 ± 2.03 items/m), weight (21.07 ± 16.04 g/m), volume (0.58 ± 0.25 L/m), richness (33 litter groups) and plastic percentage (75.07 ± 4.81%) were higher in the dry months compared to the rainy ones (2.01 ± 2.80 items/m; 5.08 ± 6.01 g/m; 0.17 ± 0.16 L/m; 22 litter groups; and 68.62 ± 5.98% of plastic, respectively). Considering the tourist importance of the Abaís beach to Sergipe state, it is crucial to develop effective cleaning actions, environmental awareness campaigns for tourists, residents and traders, as well as to establish restrictive public legal instruments to promote reduction, reuse, and recycling of the marine litter.

该研究评估了游客在 Abaís 海滩（巴西塞尔希佩州）、干旱（2017 年 12 月、2018 年和 2018 年）和雨季（2018 年 5 月、6 月/ 2018 年和 7 月/2018 年）月。游客离开后，每个月的一个星期日收集垃圾。丰度（9.71±2.03个/m）、重量（21.07±16.04g/m）、体积（0.58±0.25L/m）、丰富度（33窝组）和塑料百分比（75.07±4.81%）值较高与雨季相比，干旱月份（分别为 2.01 ± 2.80 件/平方米；5.08 ± 6.01 克/平方米；0.17 ± 0.16 升/平方米；22 个垃圾组；和 68.62 ± 5.98% 的塑料）。考虑到 Abaís 海滩对塞尔希佩州的旅游重要性，为游客、居民和商人制定有效的清洁行动、环境意识运动至关重要，
