From seabirds to sea turtles: the fatal toll of #plastic revealed

Scientists have analysed 10,000 marine animal autopsies to understand how plastic ingestion leads to death.

The study found seabirds face extreme risk after swallowing just 23 pieces of plastic, giving them a 90% chance of dying. Marine mammals reach similar danger at 29 pieces, while sea turtles need to ingest around 405 pieces to hit the same threshold.
