The aim of this short paper is to report the presence of primary and secondary microplastics in Svalbard and surrounding waters. The sampling and monitoring were done during the AREX 2017 polar expedition and included the Spitsbergen (Longyearbyen, Pyramiden) and western fjords, in particular Isfjorden, Kongsfjorden. Moreover, the unique scientific trawls were carried out in Raudefjorden at the very north coast of Spitsbergen. Finally, the plastic tide effects were confirmed at the Prins Karl Forland Island.

极地地区的海洋微塑料——斯匹次卑尔根案例研究

这篇短文的目的是报告斯瓦尔巴群岛和周围水域中初级和次级微塑料的存在。采样和监测是在 AREX 2017 极地探险期间完成的，包括斯匹次卑尔根（朗伊尔城、金字塔）和西部峡湾，特别是伊斯峡湾、孔斯峡湾。此外，在斯匹次卑尔根岛最北海岸的 Raudefjorden 进行了独特的科学拖网捕捞。最后，在普林斯卡尔弗兰岛确认了塑料潮汐效应。
