Plastic pollution measured in Mediterranean seabirds

Endangered Mediterranean seabirds are suffering from ingestion of
plastic litter, a recent study has shown. Overall, 66% of 171 seabirds
studied were found to have plastic fragments in their stomachs and the
critically endangered Balearic shearwater was among the worst affected.
