• Microplastics Contamination in Sediment, Water, Snow/Ice, Fish and Seals of the Canadian Arctic: 2023-2024

  Amundsen Science

  Microplastics (MPs) contaminate the oceans from the poles to the equators and from the sea surface to the deep sea. In addition, MPs have been recorded in freshwater systems, including in lakes, rivers and streams globally. Not only an aquatic issue, MPs…

• Microplastic distributions from the 2019 Gulf of Alaska International Year of the Salmon Expedition

  CIOOS-Pacific

  Data were collected on the relative abundance and weight of microplastics (0.05-0.15 cm and 0.15-0.5 cm) and mesoplastics (0.5-1.5 cm and 1.5-5 cm). The sampling was done using a Hydro-Bios neuston trawl (mouth opening of 70 cm x 40 cm), with a 260 cm long…
