How does pollution effect turtles

First of all plastic bags are used everyday to carry home shopping so when they are finished with they end up as rubbish in our bins. Then rubbish is taken to landfill sites. Some rubbish is carelessly dumped by road sides in fields or on beaches. Next bags are left on beaches end up in the sea. After that ocean currents carry plastic bags to feeding grounds. Finally plastic bags cause marine pollution.

Yesterday at the National Marine Aquariums science lab we found what is in animals stomachs. Our group we worked in were looking at a common seal. We found out that there was allot of plastic in the seals stomach. This is caused by humans throwing rubbish into the ocean and flushing rubbish down the toilet and not recycling but instead putting it in the bin.
