This project aims at Beta-testing the "Microplastics monitoring protocol in surface waters" developed by Deakin University in collaboration with Labter-Crea MN and Globe Italia.
As part of the project, students and teachers will be trained on a newly-established image dataset that allows recognition of common items expected to be present in surface waters.
This dataset includes a selection of naturally occurring particles. These could be of biological or mineral origin.
