HOW TO USE THE MAP

​​​

• Click on a survey point to view microplastic results for that location. Where multiple surveys exist, historical data can be accessed via the dropdown arrow beside the survey date. 

​

• Results include the average microplastic concentration (particles/m²) and a breakdown by colour, shape, size and type.

​

• The colour of each map marker represents the microplastic load recorded during the most recent survey at that location according to the colour scale on our map
   

• Data is added regularly, so if your survey is not yet visible, it will be uploaded soon.

​

• Please acknowledged both AUSMAP and the data contributor when using this data public
