Microplastic Sampling under rough conditions
For sampling at open seas, the Neuston Net with a slim aluminium katamaran is recommended. The katamaran is 3 m long which helps to tow it very straight through the water. The fact that the two bodies are very slim and almost completely submerged in the water avoids “jumping” on the waves. It can be operated with the greatest stability even under rough conditions. The maximum speed is rated at 4 knots. The net has a relatively large opening of 40 x70 cm.
