A Gutful of Plastic!
If all plastics are made degradable, marine lives can save more.

Floating rubbish, such as plastic, can be easily swallowed, and since it cannot be digested or passed, it stays in the whale. Plastic in the gut can prevent the animal from digesting its food and may lead to death.

In August 2000, an 8 metre Bryde s (pronounced broodas ) whale stranded close to central Cairns in north Queensland. It died soon after. An autopsy found that the whale s stomach was tightly packed with plastic – almost 6 square metres of it! The whale had swallowed supermarket bags, food packaging, three large sheets of plastic 2 metres long and fragments of garbage bags.

Please be careful with your rubbish

A plastic bag dropped in the street washes into stormwater drains which empty into the ocean. If you see plastic in the street, don t let it become whale food – pick it up!
