摘要

Synthetic Polymers, commonly known as plastics, have been entering the marineenvironment in quantities paralleling their level of production over the last half century(Thompson). However, during the last decade of the 20~(th)Century, the deposition rateaccelerated exponentially (Copello, Ogi). Thirty years ago the prevailing attitude of theindustry was that "plastic litter is a very small proportion of all litter and causes no harmto the environment except as an eyesore" (Derraik). Plastics became the fastest growingsegment of the U.S. municipal waste stream between 1970 and 2003, increasing nine-fold(U.S. EPA), and marine litter is now 60-80% plastic, reaching 90-95% in some areas(Derraik). While undoubtedly still an eyesore, plastic debris today is having significantharmful effects on marine biota. Albatross, fulmars, shearwaters and petrels mistakefloating plastics for food and few, individuals of these species remain unaffected; in fact,44% of all seabird species ingest plastic. Sea turtles ingest plastic bags, fishing line andother plastics, as do 26 species of cetaceans. In all, 267 species worldwide are known tohave been affected (Derraik). The numbers of fish, birds, and mammals that succumbeach year to derelict fishing nets and lines in which they become entangled cannot bereliably known, but estimates in the millions have been made (Moore). Marine plasticdebris can be divided into two categories; macro, >5mm and micro, <5mm. While macrodebris may sometimes be traced to its origin by object identification or markings, microdebris, consisting of particles of two main varieties, degraded pieces broken from largerobjects, and resin pellets and powders, the basic thermoplastic industry feedstocks, aredifficult to trace. Ingestion of small plastics by filter feeders at the base of the foodpyramid is known to occur (Moore, Thompson), but has not been quantified. Readyingestion of degraded plastic pellets and fragments (U.S. EPA) raises toxicity concernssince they are known to sorb hydrophobic pollutants (Moore, Takada).
