Floating microplastics surveys off SW Greenland, 2018
Floating microplastic particles were measured in surface seawater above the shelf-slope break off SW Greenland. Four replicate tows of a Manta surface trawl with 200 micron mesh were carried out from CCGS Amundsen. This site was chosen to correspond with ROV camera surveys of deep-sea corals, and to assess transportation of plastics in surface currents or from shipping. Samples were frozen for later analysis.
