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 along the Adriatic shorelines (Mediterranean Sea) collected from 2015-05-05 to 2015-05-09 (NCEI Accession 0292615) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm; reported in unit of pieces per kg of dry sediment) along five beaches in the Adriatic shorelines (Mediterranean Sea) during 2015-05-05 to 2015-05-09. At each site, sampling was performed by using quadrats placed along the last high tide mark. This dataset contains the results from all 10 sediment samples, in a spreadsheet format. |
