HOTSPOT MAP
WE put the MAP in AUSMAP
​The AUSMAP hotspot map is a searchable and interactive map that allows our community to see where microplastics have been found in Australia.
It shows the average quantity of microplastics per square metre found in each location for each sampling session. It also shows the colour, type and size of the microplastics.
​
Please note that when any data is used publicly for any purpose both AUSMAP and the data contributor must be acknowledged.
​​
HOW TO USE THE MAP
​​​
-
To see the map, this page is best used on desktop. On mobile you can search for any location, but it will not show the map view.
-
Click on the dot marker for your chosen survey point to show all the details of the microplastic survey. If more than one survey has been carried out at a particular location, the historical data is available by clicking on the down arrow next to the date.
-
This includes the average of microplastics per square metre & a breakdown of the microplastics found by colour, shape, size and type.
-
Each dot marker represents the location and microplastic load /m2 recorded according according to our colour scale.
-
More data is added continuously, so if you do not see your sampling session, it will be added shortly!
