Abstract:
It is critical to determine appropriate sampling methods that best capture the types and quantities of microplastics relevant to inform the questions and objectives at hand. Adhering to protocols with strict quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) measures ensures that results reflect accurate estimates of microplastic contamination. Taking duplicate samples can reveal the variability between samples at a single site. Manta samples capture a greater diversity of morphologies than do grab samples, but they underestimate smaller‐sized particles.
