Or the sea turtle, who all too often confuses floating plastic for jellyfish or algae. Unfortunately, research suggests that 52% of the world’s turtles have eaten plastic waste at one time or another, some in alarming quantities according to a University of Tokyo study.  So why would we think the impact of plastic waste is confined to the wildlife on our shores.  Recent studies show that plastic is...
