Abstract
⺠Ninety percentage of the 40 stations contained microplastic particles (size 0.3-5 mm). ⺠The highest abundances (>0.36 particles/m2) were observed in the shelf stations. ⺠The neustonic plastic particles concentrations were 5 time higher before than after the strong wind event. ⺠The values are in the same order of magnitude than in the North Pacific Gyre.
