The vertical distribution of buoyant plastics at sea: an observational study in the North Atlantic Gyre

Millimetre-sized plastics are numerically abundant and widespread across the world’s ocean surface. These buoyant macroscopic particles can be mixed within the upper water column by turbulent transport. Models indicate that the largest decrease in their concentration occurs within the first few metr...
