AAAS: "Accelerating accident appraisal." Off the coast of Sri Lanka, in May of 2021, a new container ship named the X-Press Pearl caught fire + burned for 12 days. Ultimately it sank in coastal waters, releasing huge quantities of plastic pellets + a slurry of toxic compounds. "Zhang et al. highlight multiple risky practices in the container ship industry, including failure to declare toxic items within containers, as well as poor packing and stacking, the ever-increasing size of ships, and container loss from increased storm activity." A companion paper by the same authors argues for timely biological damage assessment + "propose using whole-cell bioreporters that not only identify the presence of toxins but also gauge the biotic stress that they may cause within the affected environment." An ugly picture of not just this ship but for the industry as a whole. Mar. Poll. Bull. (2023) 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.114728, 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.114705 #containershipping #marinepollution

Remarkable comeback but #seals here in #Norfolk are threatened by our stupidity, carelessness & venality every single day. #Seals are not here for our entertainment

It is estimated that marine plastics are contributing to the death of more than 100,000 marine mammals every year. Plastic can affect marine species in a variety of ways, from entanglement and injury to ingestion and toxic contamination.
