This dataset provides data on the abundance of benthic megafauna recorded in ROV dives at a relatively shallow (400 m water depth) site near Baltimore Canyon (BC) and a much...

Anthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems and organisms are steadily increasing. Whether and to which extent these pressures influence marine biodiversity is only starting to...

Surface area was measured with the “Polygon” tool from Google Earth© between the starting and ending coordinates, the back of the beach and the waterline.Litter density per 100...

The Mediterranean Sea and its coastal systems are threatened by intense anthropogenic pressures including rapid accumulation of marine litter by diverse human activities. The...

The dataset is a set of photos of marine litter at the seafloor and corresponding coordinates. The photos were taken in the southernmost North and Baltic seas, between...

Zooplankton (amphipod and copepod) were collected using nets in the Fram Strait and the Arctic, in July 2018 and August 2019 for microplastic analysis. Water samples were also...

This dataset presents microplastics in water samples collected from the underway system and CTD alongside the August 2019 zooplankton samples presented in...
