Summary

This dataset contains 2 csv files. One file contains data on microplastic abundance expressed in number of particles from 12 transects in Port Vila Bay and Mele Bay in Efate Island (Vanuatu) in 2018 with indication of volume and surface surveyed and transect info (duration, coordinates, comments). The file also contains information on blank used and contamination checks. The other file contains spectrum analysis of particles carried out with a ATR-FTIR. A READ-ME text file contains the description of columns content for the two csv files and a brief description of particles that have been analysed with the FTIR and photographed . A .zip file includes two folders with pictures of microplastics (particles with size less than 5 mm, Arthur et al., 2008) and macrolitter in diameter (particles with size greater than 5 mm).
