Microplastic concentration in Great Barrier Reef from 2020-03-16 to 2020-03-24 (NCEI Accession 0279321)
This study estimated the concentration of floating microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm; reported in unit of pieces/m3) in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Australia collected from 2020-03-16 to 2020-03-24. Microplastics in the surface water were collected using a manta net. This dataset contains the results from all 16 surface water samples, in a spreadsheet format.
