The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
Plastic pellet (nurdle) abundance collected by citizen scientists on shorelines across several countries from 2018-11-07 to 2022-05-30 (NCEI Accession 0259486) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains counts of plastic pellet (nurdle) abundance (reported in units of counts) that were collected by citizen scientists on shorelines across several countries from 2018-11-07 to 2022-05-30, in a spreadsheet format. Citizen scientists watch a four-minute training video on how, when, and where to collect, as well as where to submit the data. The survey consists of hand picking nurdles for a 10 minute period that starts once the first nurdle has been collected. |
