Inventory of microplastics studies in Southeast Australian waters (NESP MaC 1.18)
A review of peer-reviewed publications was undertaken, focusing on coastal and marine microplastics relevant to South Eastern Australia (South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales), as well as from ongoing citizen science programmes from AUSMAP ( https://www.ausmap.org/). This dataset summarises basic information about the microplastics studies: the location of the study; if the study focused on water, sediment or biota; the type of biota (for biotic studies); and the DOI of the publication.
Although the primary focus of this study was restricted to southeastern Australia, studies collated from other regions have also been included in this dataset. The outcomes of the literature review for other regions (QLD, NT, SA, WA, Tas) should not be considered comprehensive.

- Statement
- Data was collected by reviewing published literature, and information therein, as well as information shared from NGOs. The decision was made to only include peer-reviewed literature in this synthesis, but other information is available from NGO sources; e.g. citizen science surveys: Australian Marine Debris Database Ausmap (https://amdi.tangaroablue.org/); AUSMAP (https://www.ausmap.org/). The mapping layer (WMS) linked from this record contains a summarised version of the full dataset. Please see the "Online resources" section to download the full dataset.
