The first mink to be found in Britain was an accidental cause…

The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team or COASST has been around for 17 years. The team of volunteers is considered a citizen science project and the main hub of the program makes its home at the University of Washington.

All this garbage was sucked in from rivers and lakes and created one big patch in the Pacific Ocean. Today millions of seabirds and marine animals die each year because of our output of garbage. Eventually the polluted water will evaporate and come back in the form of acid rain.…

terrestrial pollution. Marine debris that is not adequately disposed of can harm organisms that may become entangled or caught in debris, specifically threatening the lives of sea turtles and seabirds. Additionally small forms of plastic that may come form various sources also pose a threat to shearwaters and seabirds that may consume these pieces of debris (Fry et al. 1987. While the risk of entanglement remains low due to fishing prohibition, terrestrial pollution that washes ashore (i.e. lead…
