The ABC interviewed the @adriftlab.bsky.social team on Lord Howe Island last month. Even this article doesn't capture the feeling of heartbreak and grim reality of feeling plastic crunch inside a live seabird chick. #ornithology #PlasticPollution
It's an exclusive tourist destination and one of the most pristine places on the planet. It's the last place you would expect to find birds with bellies so full of plastic that they crunch if you squeeze them.
On this island, the birds are so full of plastic, they crunch
