Marine plastics found at Heard Island and Macquarie Island
Progress Code: completed Statement: Monthly beach collections were made by a human observer. Material was classed by infra-red spectroscopy. The values provided in temporal and spatial coverage are approximate only. This project monitored plastics at the four-bays area on Heard Island and at Sandell...

This project monitored plastics at the four-bays area on Heard Island and at Sandell Bay on Macquarie Island. It characterised plastics by infra-red spectroscopy both from the beach collection and small pieces from fur-seal stomachs and cormorant boluses. The aim was to assess human impact on the ocean by measuring plastic abundance and type.
