Record Beach Litter Threatens Marine Wildlife

Seals, turtles, whales, dolphins, and seabirds are being endangered from pollution in Britain’s beaches. In this article, the increase in litter like cigarettes and plastic drink bottles is explained. It is becoming almost impossible to walk on a beach and not find some kind of litter. Around 4,000 volunteers took part in cleaning up 350 beaches in Britain in September of 2007, and found 2,054 items of litter per kilometer. Although some of the pollution that ended up on these beaches was not from Britain, it is still their responsibility to clean it up.
