2005. Density of Plastic Particles found in zooplankton trawls from Coastal Waters of California to the North Pacific Central Gyre

Neuston (surface) trawls for plastic particles and debris in the North Atlantic Ocean were conducted in the 1970’s1 and in the North Pacific Ocean in the 1980’s19. Although significant levels of plastic particulates were found, these studies failed to generate any regular monitoring
