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).
