Nature center finds tiny turtle that ate 104 plastic pieces

摘要

A tiny loggerhead turtle that washed up on a Florida beach had eaten 104 pieces of plastic. The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton tweeted a picture of a dead sea turtle last week alongside the pieces of plastic found in its belly. The turtle was among a group of washbacks that were taken in by the nature center. The center said 100% of the turtles that didn't make it had plastic in their intestinal tracts. Officials at the center said it's a "sad reminder that we all need to do our part to keep our oceans plastic free."
