Atlas of Ocean Microplastics

Database of monitoring and observational data on ocean microplastics provided by researchers, research institutes, and governments from around the world, including 2D maps of survey points (or location) and particle density distribution around the globe.

PANGAEA

Large database for general environmental monitoring data. Contains various microplastics monitoring datasets. Currently there is not an option to select for ‘microplastics’ as a constituent, but many (>130 as of […]

Plastic Prediction

A machine-learning model that predicts (rough estimates) of micro- and macro-plastic abundance in rivers prior to sampling.

Plastic Pirates

A European Citizen Science Campaign in which school clasess and youth groups collect plastic samples from streams and rivers and document their findings.

Marine Plastic Database

*Limited [semi-open] access* relational database for microplastics with controlled vocabulary and schema.
