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.

在该项目的第一年中，我于2022年8月至2023年4月在泰国湾的四昌岛成功进行了总共六次采样活动。这些活动旨在收集浮游动物和水样，目的是调查其存在情况以及该地区微塑料的摄入。采样是在不同的季节进行的，包括湿季、中潮和干季，并在不同的潮汐间隔（春潮和小潮）进行，每次采样之间间隔一到两周。除了我的研究工作外，我还积极参与了多项与微塑料分析相关的合作倡议。其中包括 SEAFDEC、EuroQCharm 和 GLPM 项目，所有这些项目都旨在在国际范围内协调微塑料分析方法。通过与这些举措的合作，我为分析微塑料的标准化方法的开发做出了贡献，这将提高不同地区和研究的研究结果的质量和可比性。
