I collected this colourful haul of #plasticpollution along a small stretch of #BlakeneyPoint in just 24 hours. Over 80% of #marineplastic comes from land-based sources, with an estimated 2000kg of plastic found per km2 of beaches globally 🙅🏼‍♀️🐋🌈 #passonplastic #30DaysWild

Artificial plastic targets seen from #Sentinel2 , from mutlispectral cameras on Marine Remote Sensing Group drones and from aerial photos. Data from Copernicus Marine Copernicus EU ESA Earth Observation will be very useful for our result. #WorldOceansDay #marinelitter #marineplastic . Data from Sentinel Hub.

Microplastics are eaten by animals at the deepest point in the ocean. Our new #openaccess paper shows #marineplastic are in the stomachs of animals at 10,890 metres. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Sciences at Newcastle Ecology Group, Newcastle University Royal Society Publishing @AllLittleFishes Stuart Piertney Newcastle University

Extreme beach cleaning… #marineplastic

A moody and misty flood tide this evening. Today’s #2minutebeachclean sadly resulted in mostly fishing 🎣 tackle. #marineplastic #plasticfreecoastlines

#Marineplastic has a cost to humans too
Every tonne of #marineplastic that enters the #ocean is estimated to have a human cost of $3,000 - and $33,000 per year based on 2011 values.

This video shows Marine plastic washed up on one short atretch between Portmarnock and Malahide after 1 storm #marineplastic . Working with Clean Coasts and TidyTowns Ireland to clean it. Need to look at #plasticbans An Taisce

Plastic whale, choking on a plastic ball, next to a discarded mask. Not what I thought I'd find on a walk along the beach, but somehow a poignant marker of the times. #MarinePlastic #Irony

MOFMA is delighted to announce on #WorldOceansDay , to join the fight against #marineplastic pollution by launching a nationwide campaign in collaboration with Parley to minimize the use of single use plastics on our fishing fleet and eliminate #marineplastic pollution

1 #ContSesh1 My first #WSTC5 My undergrad dissertation UoR BioSci I collected great skua pellets from Fair Isle Fair Isle Bird Obs and analysed their prey and plastic content, as an indicator of the #MarinePlastic ingestion by the species and their prey. 3% of pellets contained plastic.

My presentation at the #ISMS2022 moderated by the great Emily Duncan:

Entanglement in #marineplastic is a threat that affects different marine megafauna species in the NE Atlantic🦈🐋🐢The overall incidence seems to be low, but the impacts caused to the animals are high!

Mae Ram Phueng beach in Rayong is gorgeous, but devastatingly covered in washed up rubbish.

The sea is beautiful and clear, but who wants to swim in detritus?
