SCOR WG 174 SPASS Workshop – Ocean Interior Microplastic Measurement

This workshop, organized under SCOR Working Group 174 (SPASS), focuses on advancing methodologies and international collaboration for measuring microplastics in the ocean interior. The activity aims to strengthen scientific capacity and harmonize approaches for sampling, monitoring, and data generation related to marine microplastic pollution. Participants will engage in discussions on analytical methods, intercomparison approaches, ocean observing needs, and challenges associated with measuring microplastics in deep and open-ocean environments.
