What killed marine life?

Turtles are dragging plastic bags, whales are entangled in ropes, and plastic garbage is killing marine life.

According to the report of165438+1October 19, in the BBC's Blue Planet 2 program, it tells how marine debris slowly kills marine life. Sarah Conner, an assistant producer, said that basically every diving area has some plastic garbage, such as fishing lines, plastic bottles and so on.

When shooting on the high seas, the production team will try their best to stop these marine wastes every time, and then salvage them to prevent these plastic wastes from interfering with the activities of marine life.

A turtle was once entangled in a plastic bag. Fortunately, it met the photographer of the program group. The photographer took the plastic bag off the turtle and successfully helped the turtle get rid of the plastic garbage.

Scientists generally believe that marine plastic waste has seriously affected the living environment of living things, and even some miniature plastic waste wandered around the ocean and was swallowed up by a large number of marine life. Turtles once died because they swallowed plastic.

On one occasion, the program group also encountered a humpback whale trapped. The humpback whale was entangled in a rope nearly 1000 meters, and it took the program group 9 hours to untie the rope and set the whale free again.

Protecting the marine environment is imminent!
