| Title: |
Assessment of surface microplastics abundance in the Mediterranean Sea collected aboard R/V Tara from 2014-06-03 to 2014-11-08 (NCEI Accession 0270530) |
| Abstract: |
This study assessed the load of surface microplastics (i.e. plastics less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) abundance at 124 sites in the Mediterranean Sea from 2014-06-03 to 2014-11-08. Microplastics data were collected aboard R/V Tara using manta net, towed at the top 10 cm of the sea surface with an average speed of 2.5-3 knots for 60 minutes. This dataset contains the results from all surface net tows, in a spreadsheet format. |
