Floating microplastics concentration in the northwestern Pacific Ocean from 2017-08-28 to 2017-09-24 (NCEI Accession 0276021)

Metadata Updated: November 1, 2023

This study was carried out to estimate the floating microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) concentration in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Microplastics data was collected from 2017-08-28 to 2017-09-24 using a manta net. This dataset contains the results from all 18 sampling stations, in a spreadsheet format.
