Plastic Soup @ NMA

On March the 1st 2012 we went to the National Marine Aquarium and we went into the Science lab. In the science lab we looked at the contents of sea creature's stomachs. My group looked at the Ocean Sunfish contents. We had a bucket and a tray and in the bucket contained the contents and the tray had nothing on it because we were going to sort the contents in groups. The content were: squid, rope, small fish, three shrimp, lots of plastic, ear bud sticks, plastic lids, wood chippings and a plastic hook. The reason why we did this was because some people don't realise that if they leave litter on the ground it would wash up into the Ocean and in the Ocean it would get smaller and smaller in to little bits and creatures would eat it. Sometimes it will block the throats or cause death, so that is why we should STOP leaving litter but mostly plastic on the ground an put it in a near by bin or with plastic you should recycle it!!

Always look for these symbols on plastics to recycle!!!
