Towards a Unified EU Action on Microplastics

Harmonised Microplastics Monitoring of Marine and Fresh Waters with Validated Methods


Erasmus Maris delivers a validated rapid screening method for microplastics counting in manta net samples that enables harmonised data across educational institutions and research laboratories
The approach was developed (and validated according to international standards) in close collaboration with educators and scientists through a strategic partnership between 
The NGO Ayam Sailing Europe (ASE)​
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre  (JRC)

Microplastic pollution is hard to measure and monitor accurately.
​Eramus Maris' approach makes monitoring accessible, reliable and scientifically robust.
