Sea Turtles Die From Plastic Ingestion More Than Sea Birds And Marine Mammals - Reptiles Magazine Of the sea turtles in the study, 8.4 percent of the deaths were attributed to the ingestion of the plastics.

Sea turtles eating plastic debris in the world's oceans die at higher rates than marine mammals and sea birds. #seaturtles #reduce #reuse #recycle #marineplastic #plasticpollution #oceandebris reptilesmagazine.com/sea-turtles-...

MobileNetV2 Sets Benchmark for Cross‑Domain Marine Plastic Detection

MobileNetV2 achieved an F1 score of 0.97 in cross-domain marine plastic detection, outperforming larger models, according to a study submitted September 2025. Read more: getnews.me/mobilenetv2-sets-benchma... #mobilenetv2 #marineplastic

Many thanks to Clare who helped Steve this Sunday with the beach clean at Vatersay West. Only 12kg of marine plastic collected which is good as it shows that regualr cleanups are making a big difference to our environment.

Come along and lend a hand. Lots of debris after the storm so even if you just have 30mins to spare it is much appreciated.

Well done indeed Lorenzo - from #ITRS2025 to thesis viva at UAlg! thanks for the time and very insightful comments from all the jury @nschubert.bsky.social @univlille.bsky.social #marineplastic #musselsarecool

This Saturday there is a shoreline clean on Vatersay West beach. Meet at the hall at 2pm. All welcome.

Various plastics on a rock

We record various types of plastics

Bit late and kinda indirectly #seabirdersaturday but a little pat on our own back, as we have recently established three reference beaches in the Faroes to monitor for marine plastic. Let's hope we can keep it going for a few years or decades. #marineplastic 🧪🌍

Cleaned all this plastic off the rocky coast of Fuerteventura, glad to litterpick while on holiday, leaving the place better than I found it. #beachclean #fuerteventura #marineplastic #beachcleanup

Marine snow as vectors for microplastic transport: Multiple aggregation cycles account for the settling of buoyant microplastics to deep‐sea sediments Many studies have reported the paradoxical observation of high concentrations of low-density microplastics (plastic particles < 5 mm) in deep-sea sediments despite their buoyancy. The incorporation o....

How does buoyant #marineplastic litter get removed from the ocean surface? Only the smallest #microplastic (< 100 micron) can reach the ocean floor through aggregation with #marinesnow.

Here are the North West Highland Beach Cleans group totals for mid-December.
Lots of big weight this month so far, almost at 12.5 tonnes for the year already.

Fantastic effort beach cleaners !

Brilliant day launching EN17988 - Circular Design of Fishing Gear at the stakeholder event in DG Mare, Brussels! It took us 4 years but we got there! Well done team. Very proud to be part of TC466 #circulareconomy #marineplastic

Some of the objects in the seaweed below are jellyfish and some are plastic. Hard to tell which are which? Imagine how hard it is for sea turtles. #marineplastic #seaturtle #beachcleanup #recycle #beach

Was told on a recent whale watching trip in Iceland that 90% of #marineplastic in their waters is from commercial fishing. We need to tackle this from all sides to ever make a difference #plasticpollution #seabirds
