Attention to a turtle that had a strange object in its nose. The biologist who was in the waters of Costa Rica conducting marine studies, realized that the endangered species had an object that was obstructing its nasal cavity. Figgener began recording the video, while she and her work team tried to discover what was inserted in the animal's nose, since it could not be distinguished. After a few minutes he realized that it was a piece of straw 10 centimeters long, so the turtle's suffering was inevitable, even on social networks they stated that the animal was crying. It was unfortunate to hear this news and you may have also witnessed that video. If you haven't seen it and want to do so, you can click here , but we warn you that the images are strong and that perhaps when you finish watching it you will reflect on how far ocean plastic can reach. How far does the plastic deposited in the ocean go? Did you know that the plastic we throw into the ocean floats farther than where we drop it? Yes, although it is hard to believe, the idea of leaving a message in a bottle so that it can be rescued on the shore of the beach is totally false, plastic travels further than you think.
This theory was confirmed by Emily Duncan, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter, and lead Phone Number List author of a study on this research published in PLOS ONE . Following the environmental expert's investigation, they put tracking labels on plastic bottles in the Ganges River and the Bay of Bengal in India; and after three months they found them, since the farthest bottle traveled more than 1,700 miles. Duncan told Fast Company that plastics move very quickly, and different areas of the ocean and marine animals can encounter such pollution that puts their lives at risk. A study to understand the problem of plastics Plastic waste is a complex and persistent pollutant of growing concern in the environment. This type of waste constitutes up to 12% of the global waste stream, but poor regulation of waste and its persistence in the environment generates significant environmental pollution, mainly in the oceans. With this definition begins the study published in PLOS ONE , which was led by researchers from the University of Exeter and the Zoological Society of London as part of the National Geographic Society 's Sea to Source project, which aims to understand the forms of prevent plastic from entering the ocean from river systems, starting with the Ganges in India.
The Ganges is one of the most polluted rivers in the world and a large source of ocean plastic, including single-use plastic beverage bottles that constitute a large volume of ocean litter. In the 2019 International Coastal Cleanup , volunteers recovered more than 1.8 million plastic beverage bottles from beaches and waterways around the world, and in at least the last 10 years of these types of activities, plastic bottles have been among the five most collected articles. How to track a plastic bottle? On the other hand, Emily Duncan 's previous research focused on how plastic pollution affects sea turtles . For years, researchers have used satellite tags to track sea turtles, and if you can track a sea turtle and find out where it goes, the expert thought: why not track a plastic bottle? The expert team placed GPS and satellite tags inside a protective casing, which they then inserted into the plastic bottles. The quiver reproduced the buoyancy of a bottle that would still be half full. The researchers dropped 25 500-milliliter bottles into the Ganges and the Bay of Bengal , which opens into the Indian Ocean, and tracked the bottles using open-source tracking software . Many of these that were released into the river moved in stages and became stuck on their way to the depths of the rivers, some became entangled in fishing nets, others were removed by people who collected them and some became trapped on beaches.
