Schuyler, Chris Wilcox, Kathy A. Townsend, Kathryn R. Wedemeyer-Strombel, George Balazs, Erik van Sebille, Britta Denise Hardesty.\u00a0 This article was first published on September 14, 2015.\u00a0 The article is about the how plastic marine debris is harming the oceanic environment and the creatures that dwell there.\u00a0 They wanted to analysis the risk of plastic ingestion of sea turtles on a global scale, and this is what they focused their research on.\u00a0 The type of data they used was acts, behavior, and events of the plastic currents and turtle migration.\u00a0 They also had to get reports of acts and events of turtle biopsies with plastic debris inside of them.\u00a0 The data they got global marine plastic distributions based on ocean drifter data with sea turtle maps.\u00a0 They then were able to predict the turtles’ exposure to the plastic pollution.\u00a0 The methods of gathering data that they used were public records, detached observation, and content analysis.\u00a0 They also provided caveats, data gaps, and risk analysis about their data.\u00a0 They calculated that there are certain sea turtles that are more susceptible, and the locations that have higher trash accumulation.\u00a0 They concluded that roughly 52% of sea turtles may have ingested debris.\u00a0 I believe that their research is valid.\u00a0 They got their data from numerous credible sources, and they accounted for error in great detail to make sure the data they were collecting was correct.\u00a0 The amount of plastic that is ingested by marine animals is too large, and it is human caused.\u00a0 Humans need to become more sustainable.<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n
