Throughout the first year of the project, I successfully conducted a total of six sampling campaigns on Si Chang Island in the Gulf of Thailand from August 2022 to April 2023. These campaigns were designed to collect zooplankton and water samples with the aim of investigating the presence and ingestion of microplastics in the region. Sampling was carried out during different seasons, including wet, intermediate, and dry, and at varying tidal intervals (spring and neap tides), with a one to two-week gap between each sampling.In addition to my research efforts, I have actively participated in several collaborative initiatives related to microplastic analysis. These include SEAFDEC, EuroQCharm, and GLPM projects, all of which aim to harmonize microplastic analysis methodologies on an international scale. By collaborating with these initiatives, I have contributed to the development of standardized methods for analyzing microplastics, which will enhance the quality and comparability of research findings across different regions and studies.

在项目的第一年，从2022年8月到2023年4月，我在泰国湾的四昌岛成功地进行了总共六次抽样活动。这些活动旨在收集浮游动物和水样，目的是调查该区域微塑料的存在和摄取情况。采样在不同的季节进行，包括潮湿、中间和干燥，以及不同的潮汐间隔(大潮和小潮)，每次采样之间有一到两周的间隔。除了我的研究工作，我还积极参与了几个与微塑性分析有关的合作倡议。这些项目包括SEAFDEC、EuroQCharm和GLPM项目，所有这些项目都旨在协调国际范围内的微塑性分析方法。通过与这些倡议的合作，我为开发分析微塑料的标准化方法做出了贡献，这将提高不同地区和研究的研究结果的质量和可比性。
