Poluição dos Mares - os invisíveis plásticos
Ameaça real e catastrófica a médio-prazo: aumento das partículas de plástico a flutuar nos Oceanos de todo o mundo. O Mediterrâneo, como mar quase fechado, sofre mais com o fenómeno: em 171 aves marítimas estudadas, 66% apresentam pedaços de plástico no estômago.
A maior parte destes fragmentos de plástico são provenientes de "plásticos pós-consumo", desde sacos de plásticos até caixas de esferovite.
Plastic pollution measured in Mediterranean seabirds
Endangered Mediterranean seabirds are suffering from ingestion of plastic litter, a recent study has shown. Overall, 66% of 171 seabirds studied were found to have plastic fragments in their stomachs and the critically endangered Balearic shearwater was among the worst affected.
