There are many news that we launch from this related page with all kinds of animals who cohabit with us on this planet and are in a somewhat deplorable state, because their habitats are being hit seriously by the hand of man.
A whale was found on the beach off the Norwegian coast with 30 plastic bags found in your stomach. The authorities who found the beached whale decided to remove it from the water and it was impossible for them to survive the enormous amount of plastic it had consumed.
This finding puts us before the serious plastic volume problems found in oceans and the safety of marine animals.
The World Economic Forum reported in December 2016 that there are about 5,25 billion pieces of plastic in the ocean. Of that number, 269.000 float on the ocean's surface, while 4.000 billion plastic microfibers are found on the ocean floor.
Horrible: this whale in Norway had 30 plastic bags in its stomach.
Exactly why we need to prevent plastic pollution!https://t.co/vSuUi0DcIa pic.twitter.com/mwMcPRt6Zx- Erik Solheim (@ErikSolheim) February 2, 2017
Meanwhile, Plastic Change, an environmental organization that campaigns against plastic pollution, predicts that the numbers could double in the next decade if there is no significant action against ocean plastic pollution.
The Cuvier whales were first seen on the island of Sotra in Norway. The scientists found that they lacked fat, indicating that they were very hungry.
Cuvier's whale can grow to 6,7 meters in length and normally feed on squid and deep-sea fish. They are usually found in waters with cool temperatures, such as the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Dr. Lislveand said he was saddened to learn that high levels of plastic in the sea were the cause of great pain that the whale had to suffer, which resulted in its final death.
