Table 2 Microplastic abundance: Level-3p and -3w data (Fig. 4). These values were obtained from grid cells where more than two values exited (i.e., all grid cells except the white areas). Total abundance was computed so that values were representative of each 5°-longitude × 2°-latitude grid cell. The particle count (weight) per unit area was rounded to the 1000 (10)
