Thanks @markavery.bsky.social for helping highlight this shocker of an issue. Yet more wildlife-harming plastic in the sea.

Please help us make sure it doesn't happen again

'What makes bio-beads particularly concerning isn’t just the plastic itself – it’s what they carry. These pellets are designed to maximise bacterial growth, and when they come from sewage treatment facilities, that biofilm may include harmful bacteria, including E. coli and other pathogens dangerous to humans.

More worryingly, research – including our own studies – shows these plastics can harbour “superbug” bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.'

PML's Prof Penelope Lindeque and Emily Stevenson (also University of Exeter ) discuss how plastic bio-beads used in wastewater treatment can harbour “superbug” bacteria in this latest article from The Conversation UK.

“The one organisation I have yet to meet is Southern #Water” says the CEO of Sussex Wildlife Trust @sussexwildlife.bsky.social

As the acknowledged culprits, why aren’t #SouthernWater out in force tackling the #environmental catastrophe their #biobeads have caused?

Has there been any study of ducks ingesting #biobeads or #nurdles @btobirds.bsky.social

The scale of this toxic #biobeads leak from #Eastbourne's wastewater treatment works run by Southern Water is utterly catastrophic, adding to the many huge pollution incidents the company has been guilty of over the years. The only effective remedy is to nationalise the company immediately.

2 seeds of Sea Purslane and 2 bio-beads.
Ducks filter out the saltmarsh seeds, so let's hope they can recognise the Southern Water bio-beads as not being food!

Sad to hear about the #BioBeads spill at Camber Sands, UK.

Like #nurdles, these tiny plastic pellets pollute coasts & harm wildlife that mistake them for food.

We must enforce stronger containment & stop all #microplastics at source🌊 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why is anyone calling these known carcinogenic plastics #biobeads? What is bio about them?
