I collected this colourful haul of #plasticpollution along a small stretch of #BlakeneyPoint in just 24 hours. Over 80% of #marineplastic comes from land-based sources, with an estimated 2000kg of plastic found per km2 of beaches globally 🙅🏼‍♀️🐋🌈 #passonplastic #30DaysWild

Extreme beach cleaning… #marineplastic

Mae Ram Phueng beach in Rayong is gorgeous, but devastatingly covered in washed up rubbish.

The sea is beautiful and clear, but who wants to swim in detritus?

A moody and misty flood tide this evening. Today’s #2minutebeachclean sadly resulted in mostly fishing 🎣 tackle. #marineplastic #plasticfreecoastlines

Remember the success of our remote boat based #beachclean last year!? We’re doing three days of this next week with an added squad of kayakers to tackle those hard to reach areas! We need some volunteers to help! Email us if keen. #marineplastic #BluePlanetUK #plasticpollution

#Marineplastic has a cost to humans too
Every tonne of #marineplastic that enters the #ocean is estimated to have a human cost of $3,000 - and $33,000 per year based on 2011 values.

These six turtles were found entangled in nets — and they’ve been safely re-released back into the ocean 🥺🐢

Plastic whale, choking on a plastic ball, next to a discarded mask. Not what I thought I'd find on a walk along the beach, but somehow a poignant marker of the times. #MarinePlastic #Irony

I think of every piece of litter I pick up as an apology to the planet, and quite frankly, as a species, I don’t think we can say sorry enough. 💚🌍🗑🚯👍🏻 #unitedagainstlitter #litter #plasticpollution #marinelitter #marineplastic #climatechange #bethechange #greensuffolk

Artificial plastic targets seen from #Sentinel2 , from mutlispectral cameras on Marine Remote Sensing Group drones and from aerial photos. Data from Copernicus Marine Copernicus EU ESA Earth Observation will be very useful for our result. #WorldOceansDay #marinelitter #marineplastic . Data from Sentinel Hub.

This video shows Marine plastic washed up on one short atretch between Portmarnock and Malahide after 1 storm #marineplastic . Working with Clean Coasts and TidyTowns Ireland to clean it. Need to look at #plasticbans An Taisce

Gloria nos ha devuelto toda la porquería que estamos tirando al medio ambiente. La mayoría es plástico. La ha dejado como escaparate en la Playa de la Barceloneta para nuestro escarnio público. Porque al final recibimos lo que damos. #BorrascaGloria #plasticwaste #marineplastic

My presentation at the #ISMS2022 moderated by the great Emily Duncan:

Entanglement in #marineplastic is a threat that affects different marine megafauna species in the NE Atlantic🦈🐋🐢The overall incidence seems to be low, but the impacts caused to the animals are high!

#WSTC5 1
Despite all the attention around #marineplastic & #seabirds we lack quantitative information on entanglement & nest incorporation for most species
