| Title: |
Floating microplastics abundance in the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean Sea) from 2013-07-06 to 2013-08-06 (NCEI Accession 0270520) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the load of floating microplastics (i.e. plastics less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) abundance at 33 sites in the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean Sea) from 2013-07-06 to 2013-08-06. Microplastics data were collected using manta net, towed at the top 10 cm of the sea surface with an average speed of 2.5 knots for 60 minutes. This dataset contains the results from all surface net tows, in a spreadsheet format. |
