Title: |
Floating microplastics concentration collected from MV Maersk Transporter in the eastern North Pacific Ocean from 2015-08-02 to 2019-12-09 (NCEI Accession 0276263) |
Abstract: |
This study was carried out to estimate the floating microplastics (plastics from size 0.5mm to 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) concentration in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Microplastics data was collected from 2015-08-02 to 2019-12-09 aboard MV Maersk Transporter, using a manta net. This dataset contains the results from all 54 sampling efforts, in a spreadsheet format. |
