Because of the massive increase in #IngestedPlastic this year (number, mass and size of particles) were finding intact items inside our baby #seabirds. This means we’re able to get information on brands…including THIS! ⬇️ #SoyFish #PollutionIsADesignChoice #shearwaters

For years, one of the most common criticisms of #PlasticPollution research was that we could show harm to individual animals, but not to populations. Today, after 15 years of fieldwork, we finally have an answer.
#IngestedPlastic reduces #seabird survival, and thus, can drive POPULATION decline

Great new paper on #IngestedPlastic in some poorly documented #seabirds ⬇️🐦
#NewPaper alert - congrats to @alixdejersey.bsky.social for publishing the second paper from her #PhD (this one is actually a bonus) doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

Our newest article identifies a robust #biomarker that can be used to detect the harm caused by exposure to #IngestedPlastic while #seabirds are still alive
For decades, researchers have measured #PlasticPollution by counting individual pieces. But those numbers don’t tell the whole story: internal damage caused by plastic (eg. inflammation) is largely invisible

Elemental analysis by neutron activation analysis and synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microscopy of ocean plastics ingested by pelagic seabirds
We report the combined use of Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) for bulk measurement of marine plastics ingested by wildlife, with a more detailed ana…
