    • Surface microplastics concentration in the global ocean collected by the Oceaneye Association from 2011-08-31 to 2021-10-05 (NCEI Accession 0276422)

    Metadata Updated: November 1, 2023

    This dataset contains surface microplastics (i.e., plastics measuring less than 5mm, reported in unit of pieces/m^3) concentration in the global ocean collected by the Oceaneye Association. Microplastics data was collected from 2011-08-31 to 2021-10-05 using manta nets by several trained volunteer groups and Citizen Scientists. This dataset contains the results from all 802 sampling efforts, in a spreadsheet format.
