From the Field: Plastic Pollution Choking World’s Oceans
7 June 2018 — An underwater photographer’s chance encounter with a starving turtle led to a personal “awakening” about the dangers discarded plastic poses to sea life in the world’s oceans.
The turtle probably mistook the floating plastic bag for a jellyfish which hawksbills typically eat.
It is just one example of how discarded plastic items are choking the marine ecosystem.
On World Oceans Day, marked annually on 8 June, the UN and its partners are raising awareness about the destructive force of plastic pollution across the globe.
