Spatiotemporal Variability of Microplastics in the Eastern Baltic Sea

Spatiotemporal Variability of Microplastics in the Eastern Baltic Sea

Microplastic (MP) pollution is present in all aquatic environments and is gaining critical concern. We have conducted sea surface MP monitoring with a Manta trawl at 16 sampling stations in the eastern Baltic Sea in 2016–2020. The concentrations varied from 0.01 to 2.45 counts/m3 (0.002–0.43 counts/...
