A schematic shows an oceanographic sampling device: a neuston (surface trawl) net. The instrument, used in marine biology and environmental toxicology, features a rectangular mouth frame with towing bridles, a tapering conical mesh, and a cod-end collection cup for retained particles. At the system hierarchy level, it is a net within a surface trawling apparatus deployed at the air–sea interface. Its application is to recover floating microplastics (MP) from the sea surface microlayer (SML) for quantification and polymer analysis. The site is coastal or open-ocean surface waters.
