Sea turtles dying after getting stuck in plastic: Survey
A worldwide survey has found over 1,000 marine turtles each year get entangled in plastic debris. Researchers estimate that over 91% of the trapped turtles end up dead being trapped in discarded fishing nets, six-pack rings from canned drinks, plastic packaging, and kite string among others. Around 106 experts surveyed around the Atlantic, Pacific Caribbean, Mediterranean and Indian ocean coast.
