Microplastics concentration in the northern South China Sea from 2018-08-07 to 2018-08-22 (NCEI Accession 0276267)
This study was carried out to estimate the microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) concentration in the northern South China Sea. Microplastics data was collected from 2018-08-07 to 2018-08-22 using stainless steel buckets. This dataset contains the results from all 69 sampling efforts, in a spreadsheet format.
