The ocean plastic problem goes deep. And now it has a new name: Eurythenes plasticus. On March 5th, 2020 a scientific team led by Dr. Alan Jamieson named this new deep-sea species after the plastic that contaminates it. Highlighting our impact on the world we are still discovering.
We must stop the entry of plastic waste into nature! As the first important step we need a worldwide legally binding UN convention to end plastic polluting the oceans. Sign the petition now and call on the world's heads of state to take responsibility and work towards a convention.
