The impact that microplastics are having on our marine life is dire in all cases but especially in the case of large filter feeder animals it's extremely important that we research more into how we can better filter our plastic pollution issues. #BIOL2300
Microplastics severely affect marine life, even the largest filter feeders. This study focuses specifically on the effects of microplastics on Mediterranean fin whales and basking sharks and the threats it poses to the two species. #BIOL2300 https://t.co
Filter feeding marine animals such as, whales and the basking shark, will accidentally ingest microplastics. The impact that microplastics pose to these animals is being researched but it is important that we help as best as we can.#Biol2300 https://t.co/E
Filter feeding organisms like whales and sharks are good indicators of microplastics in the ocean. This is important because microplastics affect every organism and the reduction of them can be measured through these marine mammals! https://t.co/rvaUp4lmd4
