Summary

This video methods paper demonstrates a standardized protocol for sampling, sorting, and characterizing microplastics in aquatic environments with high sediment loads and large floating debris — conditions that make standard microplastic sampling methods difficult to apply. The protocol is designed to improve consistency and comparability of microplastic data across research groups.
