The story was based on the following report https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3860950 https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3860950 The largest citizen science plankton study observation report details the loss of plankton https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4099018 https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4099018 . Data sets are available from GOES, or Mendeley. A secondary report with all the data sets will appear in a few weeks. Please note the data only refers to the Equatorial Atlantic, but data coming in for the North Atlantic as far North as the Azores, is giving similar results, Less than 1 zooplankton over 20um per litre of water, 10 particles of microplastic per litre, 300nm from land, and up to 1000 particles of partially combusted carbon. The shipping industry dump 20 million tonnes of toxic PCC in to the water every year, so may be 10 times more toxic than plastic.
