Atlantic Canada Microplastic Research Project (2017-2020)

The purpose of the Atlantic Canada Microplastic Research Project (2017-2020) is to determine the quantity of microplastics in 3 near-shore communities of Atlantic Canada. Data will be used to better inform the conversation and solutions around plastic pollution in the region. The project is funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada and is in partnership with Clean Annapolis River Project (CARP), ACAP Humber Arm, and Dr. Max Liboiron at the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR) out of Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). Dr. Max Liboiron is our chief academic advisor on the 3-year project, assisting with project development, methods and protocol, and sampling design. The project included sampling both surface water and beach sediment at all three study locations. The surface water trawling equipment was built using CLEAR's low-aquatic debris instrument (LADI) design. This document contains the results from the 2018 surface water samples. Sediment data results for 2018 and hot-spot data from 2019 will be available in 2020.

大西洋加拿大微塑料研究项目（2017-2020年）旨在确定大西洋加拿大沿岸三个近岸社区的微塑料含量。该研究将用于更深入地了解该地区塑料污染的对话和解决方案。项目由加拿大环境与气候变化部资助，并与清洁安那波利斯河项目（CARP）、哈伯臂的ACAP、纽芬兰纪念大学的市民实验室环境行动研究（CLEAR）的马克斯·利博隆博士合作进行。马克斯·利博隆博士作为本项目三年的首席学术顾问，协助项目开发、方法与协议以及采样设计。项目包括对所有三个研究地点的表层水和海滩沉积物进行采样。表层水拖网设备采用了CLEAR的低压水生物碎片仪器（LADI）设计。本文件包含2018年表层水样本的结果。2018年的沉积物数据结果和2019年的热点数据将于2020年提供。
