Surface plastic debris collected from SSV Robert C. Seamans in Eastern Pacific Ocean from 2001-10-12 to 2012-12-20 (NCEI Accession 0211008)

Description

Data contains floating plastic debris in the eastern North and South Pacific Oceans from more than 2500 plankton net tows conducted between 2001 and 2012. From these data, the researchers defined an accumulation zone (25 to 41°N, 130 to 180°W) in the North Pacific subtropical gyre that closely corresponds to centers of accumulation resulting from the convergence of ocean surface currents.
