Microlitter in the water column and in sediment dataset supporting the 2024 Belgian MSFD assessment of D10C2
This dataset is part of the 2024 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 10, criterion 2. This dataset presents data on microplastics in seabed sediment along a coastal-offshore transect in the Belgian Part of the North Sea (BPNS) in 2020, during 2 cruises on board the RV Belgica. Samples were collected using a Reineck box corer or a Van Veen grab, and the top 5cm was collected for analysis. The samples were preserved and analyzed in the laboratory. This dataset also presents data on microplastics in seawater along the same coastal-offshore transect in the BPNS in 2020-2021, during 3 cruises on board the RV Belgica. Subsurface seawater was collected through the vessel's continuous seawater inlet located below the surface (-3m). The samples were preserved and analyzed in the laboratory.

The samples were collected during a regular monitoring campaign along a coastal-offshore transect. For sediment: microlitter samples were collected in triplicate using either a Reineck box corer or a Van Veen grab, taking the top 5cm; on board, samples were stored in glass jars at -20°C until processed, then underwent digestion, density separation and filtration onto glass fibre filters for visual observation under a stereomicroscope, with a subset analyzed by µFTIR for QC and chemical identification. For seawater: subsurface seawater was collected through the vessel's continuous seawater inlet (-3m), filtered on board on a 100µm sieve and stored in glass bottles at -20°C until processed, then filtered on glass fibre filters for visual observation under a stereomicroscope, with a subset analyzed by µFTIR for QC and chemical identification. In both cases, measures against contamination were taken at all steps and negative controls were run alongside samples to calculate the limit of detection (LOD). Data collection started in 2020. Sediment: Reineck box corer or Van Veen grab; Seawater: vessel continuous seawater inlet (-3m) with 100µm sieve. Stereomicroscope for visual particle observation; µFTIR imaging for chemical identification and QC of particles.
