Microplastics monitoring protocol: plastic fragments

Figshare 2021
Alessandra Sutti

Summary

This project involved training citizen scientists to use a standardised microplastic monitoring protocol for identifying plastic fragments in surface waters. The initiative tested a monitoring method developed by Deakin University and Globe Italia, contributing to open-access microplastic detection tools.

This project aims at Beta-testing the "Microplastics monitoring protocol in surface waters" developed by Deakin University in collaboration with Labter-Crea MN and Globe Italia. As part of the project, students and teachers will be trained on a newly-established image dataset that allows recognition of common items expected to be present in surface waters. This dataset includes a selection of naturally occurring particles. These could be of biological or mineral origin.
