Plastic contamination of the marine environment is widespread, but the extent to which the marine food web is contaminated is not yet known - until now. Francisca Ribeiro is a PhD candidate from University of Queensland who led a recent study that has found plastic contamination in samples of popular seafood such as prawns, oysters, crabs, and sardines.

Of course, wildlife would disagree with this - but some robust science was needed to pop those balloon myths. Enter Dr Morgan Gilmour and Dr Jennifer Lavers from Adrift Lab.
