Plastic Pollution is ubiquitous all over the world - but for the Seabirds of the world, it can lead to a particularly gruesome end.
Because most people never see seabirds, they remain unaware of the scale of the problem, and the pain that these birds may endure after ingesting plastic.
Grant speaks with some of the members of The Adrift Lab at the University of Tasmania, about their work with Flesh-footed Shearwaters on Lord Howe Island.
Summer Series Interactive Replays
Bird Strike is the cause of death of billions of birds worldwide each year. Yes, billions. Although it may seem unbelievable, the regular flyways that birds use to undertake their seasonal migrations, see birds colliding with windows and reflective surfaces. The death rate is very high. On top of the risk of collisions with glass in buildings, add the light that we are putting into the environment every night, and birds are becoming disoriented, often with tragic results. This can be especially so for seabirds.
Featuring David Tan and Ariel Heswall
