| Title: |
Surface microplastics concentration collected from MV Maersk Transporter in the North Pacific Ocean from 2018-11-01 to 2018-12-04 (NCEI Accession 0276266) |
| Abstract: |
This study was carried out to estimate the surface microplastics (plastics from size 0.5mm to 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) concentration in the North Pacific Ocean. Microplastics data was collected from 2018-11-01 to 2018-12-04 aboard MV Maersk Transporter, using a manta net. This dataset contains the results from all 16 sampling efforts, in a spreadsheet format. |
