Birds don’t like eating plastic(塑料)。But more seabirds are eating plastic waste in the world’s seas and oceans.Why?
It is possibly because the plastic smells like a seabirds’food,according to a new study published in Science Advances.
Mattew Savoca is the study’s lead author at the University of California,Davis,”Animals usually have a reason for the decision they make,”he said,”if we want to truly understand why animals are eating plastic in the ocean,we have o think about how animals find food”
The study find that plastic waste easily gather algae(聚集海藻)on the water.Together they
give off a smell that is very similar to the Krill(磷虾)that many seabirds feed on.It could explain why certain birds--including albatrosses(信天翁),are nearly six times more likely to eat plastic than other birds.They usually find food by their sense of smell.
There is more plastic pollution in the world every year.A study last year showed that about 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans every year.It is enough to cover every coastline(海岸线)in the world.
Birds and other sea animals,such as turtles and fish,eat plastic.It can badly hurt the health of the animals.Some birds even mistakenly feed their babies waste instead of food.
Scientists hope this study can raise the alarm about plastics in our oceans and help save the seabirds.
