A scientist has filmed the moment plastic microfibre is ingested by plankton, illustrating how the material is affecting life beneath the waves.

The footage shows one way that plastic waste could be entering the marine and global food chain…

See the video here: www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39217985​
An estimated 150 million tonnes of plastic "disappears" from the world's waste stream each year.
​
Waste plastic in the world's seas has been recognised by the United Nations as a major environmental problem.

The United Nations has estimated that there are 46,000 pieces of waste plastic per square mile of sea.

Seeing such beautiful creatures of deep blue ocean has been an amazing experience for everyone that is interested. I am really interested to know more about the different species of creatures.
