| Title of dataset | Oceaneye’s microlitter data 2011-2020 |
| Narrative summary of dataset | This dataset is a compilation off all sea surface micro- and mesolitter data produced by Oceaneye between 2011 and 2020 during several volunteer monitoring expeditions with the use of manta nets. The dataset provides in-depth information such as station location, date, time, sampling distance and wind speed, but also number and mass of items for the different categories. |
| Summary of processing methodology | Samples were collected with manta nets (mesh size = 0.33 mm) from different sailboats at a target speed of 1.5 m/s and in wind conditions between 0 and 10.3 m/s. The duration of the trawl ranged from 30 to 90 min. The distance covered was evaluated by the GPS distance or with a mechanical flow meter. The wind speed was measured for each sample with an anemometer placed at the top of the mast. Samples were first sieved through 5 mm, 1 mm and 300 µm sieves, to separate mesoparticles from bigger and smaller microparticles, and rinsed with water. All particles were visually identified with a stereo microscope, separated from the plankton and sorted into six form categories. Once dried for one week at ambient temperature, the particles of each category were counted and weighted.
