It is likely that most seabirds have consumed plastic rubbish floating in
the ocean after mistaking it for prey.

Chris Wilcox at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation in Hobart, Australia, and his colleagues collated published
data on the diets of 135 seabird species over the past four decades,
including the red-footed booby (Sula sula; pictured) and the Cape petrel
(Daption capense).
