Endangered Sea Turtles: The Impact of Plastic Waste on Our Oceans
Every year, over six million tons of waste make their way to the ocean, with 90% of these being plastics. Sea turtles can become entangled in and ingest this marine debris, jeopardizing their feeding habits, growth, and ultimately, their survival. A study conducted on young loggerhead turtles revealed that 15% of them had ingested significant amounts of plastic, hindering the function of their stomachs.
