@...@Pollution, whether it is related to noise, air, water or plastic, is increasingly posing threat to lives of marine species// Researchers from the University of Exerter have found that all seven species of marine turtles can ingest or become entangled because of increasing plastic pollution in oceans//
@...@Sarah Nelms, from the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter*s Penryn campus, said that there is urgent need to have more research in order to understand the scale of the problem// According to sources, annual global plastic production has grown from 1//5 million tons to 299 million tons in the last 65 years// Plastic pollution is affecting lives of turtles in a way it causes intestinal blockage when ingested by turtles// It further causes malnutrition, poor health, reduced growth rates, lower reproductive output and even death in worse conditions//
