This dataset is a compilation off all sea surface micro- and mesolitter data produced by Oceaneye between 2011 and 2020 during several volunteer monitoring expeditions with the use of manta nets. The dataset provides in-depth information such as station location, date, time, sampling distance and wind speed, but also number and mass of items for the different categories.
