Why because after while algae grows on it, it smells like krill. Eight million metric tons of plastic enters sea 🌊 annually. Eating plastic results in damage insides, gut blockage or build up of chemicals in the animals tissues.

Scientists did experiment. They put three most common plastic types high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and polypropylene (different density of plastic, or oil). Put 💼 bags put of coast of California. 3 weeks later they were collected taken for analysis. Let off sulfur compound, dimethyl sulfide (dms), dms triggers certain bird 🦅 forage krill. Like dinner bell🥘 🛎 . After 55 study’s and 13315 birds 🐦 found birds track dms 6 times more likely eat plastic. This group called tube-nosed seabirds includes albatrosses and petrels.
