Handbook of Survey Methodology Plastics Leakage (developed for CSIRO Global Plastic Pollution Baseline Project). Version 1.4.
(CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, Canberra, Australia, 2020)We are using field sampling to measure, and mathematical modelling to estimate, the distribution and movement of plastic waste near urban centres, along waterways, on the coastline and in the ocean. We are designing robust ... -
Review of plastic footprint methodologies: Laying the foundation for the development of a standardised plastic footprint measurement tool.
(International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Gland, Switzerland, 2019)Of the 8,300 million tonnes (Mt) of plastic produced from 1950 to 2015, only 7% has been recycled while more than half has been discarded in landfill or leaked into the environment. Plastic leakage into the environment ... -
OOI Biogeochemical Sensor Data Best Practices and User Guide. Version 1.1.1. [GOOS ENDORSED PRACTICE]
(Ocean Observatories Initiative, Biogeochemical Sensor Data Working Group, 2023)The OOI Biogeochemical Sensor Data Best Practices and User Guide is intended to provide current and prospective users of data generated by biogeochemical (BGC) sensors deployed on the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) ... -
Sediment sampling with a core sampler equipped with aluminum tubes and an onboard processing protocol to avoid plastic contamination
(2019)Microplastics are abundant even on the deep-sea floor far from land and the ocean surface where human activities take place. To obtain samples of microplastics from the deep-sea floor, a research vessel and suitable sampling ... -
Threshold Values for Marine Litter.
(Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, 2020)The revised Commission Decision 2017/848/EU requires EU Member States to establish threshold values for criteria of Descriptor 10 on marine litter. Threshold values, which are now mandatory through the new provisions, are ... -
Monitoring marine litter impacts on sea turtles. Protocol for the collection of data on ingestion and entanglement in the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta Linnaeus, 1758). Version 1.
(INDICIT Consortium, France, 2018)The following protocol is intended to respond to the MSFD requirements for the indicator 10.2.1 “Trends in the amount and composition of litter ingested by marine animals”. The INDICIT program proposed marine turtles as ... -
A new small device made of glass for separating microplastics from marine and freshwater sediments.
(2019)Separating microplastics from marine and freshwater sediments is challenging, but necessary to determine their distribution, mass, and ecological impacts in benthic environments. Density separation is commonly used to ... -
Reporting Guidelines to Increase the Reproducibility and Comparability of Research on Microplastics.
(2020)The ubiquitous pollution of the environment with microplastics, a diverse suite of contaminants, is of growing concern for science and currently receives considerable public, political, and academic attention. The potential ... -
