Plastic found in creatures living 11 km deep in ocean
UK-based researchers have found plastic fibres in stomachs of sea creatures that swim nearly 11 kilometres deep in the Pacific. The study tested samples of crustaceans found in trenches including the deepest known point in the Ocean, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. "Plastic pollution is so pervasive that nowhere, no matter how remote, is immune," said a researcher.
