Differential impact of marine debris ingestion during ontogenetic dietary shift of green turtles in Uruguayan waters
Researchers analyzed gut contents of 96 stranded green turtles from Uruguay and found debris in 70% of individuals, with hard plastics most abundant by weight; smaller (juvenile) turtles had significantly more debris ingestion, identifying the early juvenile life stage as particularly vulnerable to plastic pollution in the southwestern Atlantic.
