🔬 Dr Holly Shiels investigated microplastics in sea turtle reproductive organs.
Her research suggests plastic pollution could threaten marine species' ability to reproduce — a stark reminder of ocean plastic's impact.

The findings could spell disaster for the majestic creatures already found in declining numbers in the world’s oceans.
