Among all the nurdles and microplastics on the strandline, a tiny red Lego flower, one of 161,264 red Lego flowers lost overboard from the Tokio Express back in 1997. Still turning up, 28 years on.

It’s World Octopus Day. There were 4,200 Lego octopuses inside the shipping container that fell off the Tokio Express back in 1997. We found our first Lego octopus soon afterwards but didn’t discover another for 18 years. #WorldOctopusDay #oceanplastic

Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to sea turtles, as they can become entangled in plastic debris and ingest both plastics and microplastics. Juvenile sea turtles are especially susceptible to the ingestion of microplastics. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #OceanPlastic

An estimated 8-12 metric tons of plastic from land-based sources end up in the ocean annually, 80% of ocean plastic sourcing, equivalent to two garbage trucks of plastic every minute, making coastal cleanup critical to halting the flow. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #OceanPlastic

Nonpoint source pollution, primarily from land-based sources, contributes 80% of marine pollution. This includes plastics, microplastics, sewage, and agrochemicals from storm drains and runoff which destroys habitat and kills wildlife. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #OceanPlastic

Coastal cleanups are the last line of defense to prevent debris from entering the ocean, causing harm to wildlife and marine habitats and even increasing climate change. 80% of the plastic in the ocean is from land-based sources. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #OceanPlastic

#Plastik #OceanPlastic IST ein Problem. Auch wenn wir es gern übersehen - in den Meeren, in Pflanzen & Tieren & im menschlichen Körper
Ein Vergleich:
Wenn Flüsse Plastik in die Meere leiten, und diesen riesigen Organismus damit vergiften, dann ist das so, als würden wir Menschen Mikroplastik direkt durch eine Infusion in den Körper...

Plastikmüll-Abkommen 2024: „Wir haben wertvolle Zeit verloren“
Ende 2024 soll ein Abkommen gegen Plastikverschmutzung stehen. Die Ergebnisse der gerade beendeten Verhandlungsrunde machen eine Einigung nicht einfacher, meint die Meeresbiologin Melanie Bergmann.
