Levels of microplastics in the Mediterranean a threat to wildlife
A sea of plastic, the Mediterranean is the area of the world most at risk for endangered seabirds.
Cook's Petrel, from New Zealand, is an endangered species and is one of the seabirds most at risk from plastic exposure. During its migrations it crosses the Pacific Ocean, and its wintering areas are severely affected by the “big garbage island” of the North Pacific.(photo credit: PAUL DONALD)Updated:
