Framework setting for sampling and detecting plastics

This document is MINKE’s Deliverable 8.1 “Framework setting for sampling and detecting plastics”. The aim of the present deliverable was to propose a framework setting for sampling and detecting plastics, which will subsequently allow to search and gather marine litter databases and data from all over the world (short-term goal), as well as propose future large-scale monitoring activities to ensure data accuracy and completeness (mid-term goal).
