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: |
Microplastic concentrations in the surface sediment of Xialiao Beach, New Taipei City, Taiwan from 2017-07-06 to 2017-07-25 (NCEI Accession 0277996) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m3) in the surface sediments of Xialiao Beach, New Taipei City, Taiwan from 2017-07-06 to 2017-07-25. Microplastic data were collected using a metal scoop. This dataset contains the results from all 80 surface sediment samples, in a spreadsheet format. |
