“…Firstly, the presence of synthetic particles in marine turtles could be due to environmental exposure to areas of contaminated sea water or sediments. Numerous studies have now identified microplastics in seawater worldwide creating potential exposure during foraging, nesting and migration (Critchell et al, ; Gago et al, ; van Sebille et al, ). Microplastics have also been shown to move from source to sediments (Gago et al, ), with lowâdensity plastics eventually reaching the seafloor though densityâmodification, as a result of biofouling or integration into zooplankton faecal matter (Alomar, Estarellas, & Deudero, ; Andrady, ; Cole et al, ; Coppock, Cole, Lindeque, QueirĂłs, & Galloway, ; CĂłzar et al, ; Van Cauwenberghe, Devriese, Galgani, Robbens, & Janssen, ).…”
