R/V KAIMEI Cruise Report KM24-03 leg. 1
Summary
This cruise report from the R/V KAIMEI (KM24-03) describes oceanographic and environmental research activities, including sampling for micro- and nanoplastics across marine-atmospheric-terrestrial interfaces. The cruise investigated the physiological impacts of microplastics on deep-sea organisms and collected seawater for isolation of potential microplastic-degrading bacterial strains.
