Our new @adriftlab.bsky.social paper is out, lead by @alixdejersey.bsky.social showing the insidious impacts of plastics on seemingly health birds (1/5)

✨NEW PAPER✨ After 3 yrs this method is out!

➡️An index to reduce uncertainty in distinguishing entanglements in fishing-related items between OFG & ALDFG

➡️Vital as different measures are needed to tackle each problem (operational fishing vs. marine debris)

This article used data about plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters collected dead in the Azores. It was discovered for the first time that seabirds such as shearwaters 'reset' plastic concentrations.

✨We kick off the year with a newly published paper exploring plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters✨

✳️Our findings reveal that due to feeding their offspring, adults reset their plastic loads

✳️Crucial insights for using seabirds as bioindicators

🔊 Take a look at this review we collaborated on. The study critically examines global long-term #monitoring programs using #bioindicators for #plastic #pollution. While many species might have the potential, only a few programs have been effectively implemented.

Predicted growth in plastic waste exceeds efforts to mitigate plastic pollution Even the most optimistic scenario projects huge amounts of plastic pollution in the coming decades.

Science has shown that #Plastic pollution is driven by plastic production, i.e. supply. Supply-side measures are thus essential to adequately tackle pollution and its effects on human and ecosystem health as well as climate! #PlasticsTreaty #INC5

We need to talk about plastic: five everyday items choking the planet It is one of the world’s most dangerous materials, and global leaders are meeting in South Korea to thrash out a treaty to curb its effects

Good to see clothing included here, an often overlooked source of plastic waste. We have a big programme on that at #Exeter now and the global numbers are shocking. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Five charts: Why a UN plastics treaty matters for climate change - Carbon Brief A global treaty on plastics, touted as the most important environmental treaty since the Paris Agreement, will be negotiated in South Korea.

Minuto Azul Escuro Esta série de 30 episódios procura dar a conhecer o grande valor que guarda o mar profundo, o mais massivo e remoto bioma do planeta

Relembramos-te que hoje é dia de novo episódio da Série Minuto Azul Escuro, desenvolvida pelo @azoresdeepsea.bsky.social! Vê todos os episódios aqui:

Cory’s shearwater as a key #bioindicator of #plastic #contamination in the North #Atlantic. We studied 1,238 deceased birds over 8 years!
