De nouvelles recherches estiment que les tortues vertes femelles abritent, à elles seules, six tonnes de déchets plastiques.
New research estimates that approximately 60 tonnes of plastic debris discarded in the ocean reside within female green turtles at any given time.

Plastic has become a major part of the carbon cycle, a discovery that has implications for how we tackle climate change.
