The objective of this campaign is the sampling of sediments. These sediments will be used to assess the organic and inorganic pollutants in the marine area, as well as the possible biological effects of contaminants. In this survey, along with the traditional pollutants, the presence of microplastics in sediments will also be evaluated.

The campaign is part of the BASEMAN project (Establishment of protocols and references for the analysis of microplastics in European waters) of the PCIN within the specific JPI-Oceans call. The main objective is collecting samples of microplastics in water and sediments for studies of the spatial and temporal distribution of associated pollutants, as well as to evaluate the differences between the different sampling systems. In each of the stations a CTD will be made to know the thermohaline conditions.
