Plastic pollution is widespread in the world's oceans. A new study of northern fulmars from the North Atlantic shows that plastic pollution is also common in northern marine areas. The research is published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin.

    80% of them have plastics, not (just) microplastics, that’s 100% of them.

      I was about to say, so thats a win for the 20% who miraculously DONT have microplastics distrubuted throughout every tissue and organ in their body?

        Ikr? I was all hyped for a hot second, maybe even that they found some sort of resistance/purging mechanism for microplastics … and then ‘that can’t be right, this must be a shit or sponsored study’.

        But no, macro plastic.
        Like turtles, whales, etc.
        Bcs the world is a fuck.
