Whereas photos of sea turtles eating plastic bags have become the poster child of the environmental harm wrought by humanity’s plastic waste, the scope of the problem is far larger than the trash we can see. Enter microplastic. Within 60 seconds, people around the world will purchase a million plastic bottles & 2 million plastic bags. By the end of the year, we will produce enough bubble wrap to encircle the Equator 10 times.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT

As shared by Perhentian Turtle Project FB.

On Tuesday (1st of May) morning the team were notified of a dead turtle seen nearby to nesting beach, Tiga Ruang. We were saddened to see this one when we arrived, floating belly up in the calm sheltered bay. This one is small, maybe a juvenile & the back half of its shell was completely decimated by a boat strike. As if this wasn’t bad enough, when we came to shore to meet the rest of the team & @DOF_Malaysia Terengganu, we learned there was not one, but 2 dead turtles in the bay.
