The distressing discovery of microplastics in over 40% of loggerhead turtles in the Mediterranean highlights the grave health risks posed by plastic pollution. The study, led by Dr. Emily Duncan, found 492 pieces of plastic in the turtles’ stomachs, emphasizing the urgent need for action to protect marine life from the harmful effects of plastic waste.
In Cyprus, collaborative efforts between the government, NGOs, and local communities have led to a promising increase in the Mediterranean monk seal population, with successful species monitoring and protective measures. Despite challenges like urbanization and tourism, ongoing vigilance and community engagement are crucial for the survival of these endangered marine mammals.
