Dear MARMAMers,
There have been recent reports in some Australian media and internet
discussions that plastic bags do not harm marine animals. This discussion has
come about as a result of incorrect information initially claiming that 100,000
animals die from plastic bags when it should have said 100,000 animals die from
discarded nets. Certain sectors are now claiming plastic bags are actually
harmless. One UK report can be read here:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3508263.ece
Can anyone here help in providing strong evidence that marine animals are
killed by plastic bags, how they are killed, or maybe even suggestions that
they are not of concern in the marine environment.
Thankyou in advance.
Winston P. Smith
