Sardines Are Eating Plastic—Literally

Sardines in the Mediterranean are so short on plankton, they’ve started filter feeding—and accidentally gulping down way more plastic. Researchers found these sardines are eating nearly 5x more plastic fibers than before, and their health is taking a hit. The wild part? This plastic can end up in the food chain (yep, even on our plates). Climate change and plastic pollution are making things messy. Would you still eat sardines? #PlasticPollution #ClimateChange #OceanHealth #Science
