RE: Corals Eat Plastic Because It Tastes Good! Could The Same Be True For Other Marine Animals?

in #science7 years ago

wow

this is fascinating.

I live in Bermuda and have been a diver for 30 years.

Any idea on what anyone found out about what kind of effect on coral structure produced by ingesting plastic?

Have they fed corals long enough to see what changes (if any) in body structure are observed?

(In a less serious way: does it make hard corals flexible? LOL)

Really interesting given that plastics are, after all, organic (carbon) products

Thanks!
