“As of now, 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic products, and by 2050 this proportion may rise to 99%.†This is a shocking statistic from a study by Australian and British scientists. This may have devastating effects on the world's seabird population. If you don't improve marine debris as soon as possible, the problem will get worse and worse. It is almost certain that some plastic can be found in the stomach of any dead seabird in 2050.

shock! Almost all seabirds ingest their plastics in 2050
According to the latest estimates, approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean from land through various channels each year. In 2010, 192 coastal countries and regions produced a total of 275 million tons of plastic waste, and eventually 4.8 million tons to 12.7 million tons of garbage entered the ocean, becoming a deadly killer of the marine ecological environment. Researchers say that seabirds eating plastics are everywhere. The same is true of these relatively pure waters in Australia, South Africa and South America. This could have a devastating impact on seabird populations worldwide, which in turn will affect more land and marine life.
This result is frustrating. But Chris Wilcox of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Australia, which is responsible for the study, believes that, unlike climate change issues, this problem is expected to be resolved if effective waste disposal is adopted. Seabirds can recover quickly as long as they can locate plastic waste problems and work with local governments to take effective measures to reduce the amount of plastic waste flowing into the ocean. Therefore, this requires everyone's joint cooperation, the only way to reduce the occurrence of seabirds eating plastic.
