Marine Plastic Pollution in Waters around Australia

공공데이터포털

This data describes the characterisation and estimated concentration of marine plastics in waters around Australia from surface net tows. The marine plastics recorded were predominantly small fragments (‘‘microplastics’’) resulting from the breakdown of larger objects made of polyethylene and polypropylene (e.g. packaging and fishing items). This data accompanies the following publication: Reisser J, Shaw J, Wilcox C, Hardesty BD, Proietti M, et al. (2013) Marine Plastic Pollution in Waters around Australia: Characteristics, Concentrations, and Pathways. PLoS ONE 8(11): e80466. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0080466

Estimations of floating microplastics, mesoplastics, and macroplastics around Kuroshio Current, western North Pacific collected from 2014-02-03 to 2014-03-01 (NCEI Accession 0279325)

공공데이터포털

This study estimated the concentration of floating microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2), mesoplastics (i.e. plastics measuring 5-25 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2), and macroplastics (i.e. plastics measuring greater than 25 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2) around Kuroshio Current, western North Pacific collected from 2014-02-03 to 2014-03-01. These plastics in the surface water were collected using a neuston net (450 µm mesh size) by horizontally towing the net over the sea surface for 10 min at a ship speed of approximately three knots at each station. This dataset contains the results from all 132 surface water samples, in a spreadsheet format.
