Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research
Sarah E. Nelms,Emily M. Duncan,Annette C. Broderick,Tamara S. Galloway,Matthew H. Godfrey,Matthew H. Godfrey,Matthew H. Godfrey,Mark Hamann,Penelope K. Lindeque,Brendan J. Godley +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that urgent action is required to better understand the effects of plastic debris and its effects on marine turtles, so that appropriate and effective mitigation policies can be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic ingestion ubiquitous in marine turtles
Emily M. Duncan,Emily M. Duncan,Annette C. Broderick,Wayne J. Fuller,Wayne J. Fuller,Tamara S. Galloway,Matthew H. Godfrey,Mark Hamann,Colin J. Limpus,Penelope K. Lindeque,Andrew G. Mayes,Lucy C. M. Omeyer,David Santillo,Robin T. E. Snape,Brendan J. Godley +14 more
TL;DR: The likelihood that microplastic ingestion presents a significant conservation problem at current levels compared to other anthropogenic threats is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global review of marine turtle entanglement in anthropogenic debris: A baseline for further action
Emily M. Duncan,Zara L. R. Botterell,Annette C. Broderick,Tamara S. Galloway,Penelope K. Lindeque,Ana Nuno,Brendan J. Godley +6 more
TL;DR: A global summary of the issue of marine turtle entanglement in anthropogenic debris using a mixed methods approach, including a literature review and expert opinions from conservation scientists and practitioners worldwide is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The true depth of the Mediterranean plastic problem: Extreme microplastic pollution on marine turtle nesting beaches in Cyprus
Emily M. Duncan,Emily M. Duncan,Jessica A. Arrowsmith,Charlotte E. Bain,Annette C. Broderick,Jonathon H. Lee,Kristian Metcalfe,Stephen K. Pikesley,Robin T. E. Snape,Erik van Sebille,Brendan J. Godley +10 more
TL;DR: Particle drifter analysis hindcast for 365 days indicated that most plastic likely originated from the eastern Mediterranean basin, which could result in anthropogenically altered life history parameters such as hatching success and sex ratios in marine turtles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Riverine plastic pollution from fisheries: Insights from the Ganges River system
Sarah E. Nelms,Emily M. Duncan,Surshti Patel,Ruchi Badola,Sunanda Bhola,Surfarsha Chakma,Gawsia Wahidunnessa Chowdhury,Brendan J. Godley,Alifa Bintha Haque,Alifa Bintha Haque,Jeyaraj Antony Johnson,Hina Khatoon,Sumit Kumar,Imogen E. Napper,Md.

TL;DR: There is a need for targeted and practical interventions to limit the input of fisheries-related plastic pollution to this major river system and ultimately, the global ocean.
