Five pieces of litter for every step you take on Northern Ireland beaches | Marine debris: Impacts, Studies & Solutions
Very sad - we need more bins on our beaches, we need to be more mindful of how much plastic we use and we need to stop throwing rubbish overboard - no matter how small, it all accumulates. There are now traces of microplastics everywhere in our oceans so we are now actually eating plastic ourselves when we consume seafood but keep in mind fishmeal is used to feed farm animals also, so not just people who consume seafood are affected and I wouldn't be surprised if vegetarians aren't escaping either............
