Microplastic distributions from the 2019 Gulf of Alaska International Year of the Salmon Expedition
CIOOS-PacificData 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…
