Abstract

Global data about microplastics (less than 5 millimeters in length) have been provided by contributors from various research cruises and fieldwork around the globe for integration into this database. These data are difficult and expensive to obtain. All sources of data and information are needed in order to complete a comprehensive understanding of the challenges going forward.
