Turtles and Plastics Pollution
Disposable Oceans- November 2006
Steve Smith, aboard the Greenpeace ship Esperanza, said: "Plastics in the oceans act as a toxic sponge, soaking up a lot of the persistent pollutants out here. We've seen photos of albatrosses who eat this plastic ... Even though their stomachs are filled, they end up starving because there's no nutrients in there.
