OPERATIONS
Microplastic Removal Rate (MRR)
Daily mass of plastic recovered by the drift-platform skimming arrays. The active counterweight to the microplastic density the same stations measure in the water around them.
Threshold Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| On target | ≥ plan | OK |
| Behind | < plan | WARN |
Formula
Mass of microplastic and fragments skimmed and landed at gyre stations, per day.
