Spatial distribution and characterization of microplastics in Elkhorn Slough

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Water Quality Protection Program (MBNMS)

Status: Planned
Funding Status: Not Funded
Dates: 07/15/2021 - 07/15/2021
Characterize microplastics by sampling established monitoring stations to better understand the spatial distribution of plastic pollution. This understanding will provide insight into the most likely sources of pollution and help us better determine to what degree agricultural plastic is transported from fields to the Slough.

Goals

Understand the magnitude and distribution of microplastics in Elkhorn Slough.
