The Australian scientist Britta Denise Hardesty studies plastic from a dead Flesh-footed shearwater. After the preparation, the amount of plastic in the bird filled her hands. Among the findings was a doll’s arm, balloons, beverage lids and numerous other fragments. The plastic made up 8% of the bird’s weight.
