TL;DR: Standardized techniques, approaches and metrics for reporting debris ingestion that are applicable to most large marine vertebrates are discussed and proposed, with the aim of harmonizing the data that are available to facilitate large-scale comparisons and meta-analyses of plastic accumulation in a variety of taxa.

Stephanie B. Borrelle,Chelsea M. Rochman,Max Liboiron,Alexander L. Bond,Amy Lusher,Hillary Bradshaw,Jennifer F. Provencher +6 more
TL;DR: The time is ripe for the initiation of an international agreement with measurable reduction targets to lessen the plastic pollution in the world’s oceans, according to research suggests.

Marine birds and plastic debris in Canada: a national synthesis and a way forward
TL;DR: Marine plastic ingestion by seabirds was first documented in the 1960s, but over 50 years later our understanding about the prevalence, intensity, and subsequent effect of plastic pollution in the...

Garbage in guano? Microplastic debris found in faecal precursors of seabirds known to ingest plastics
Jennifer F. Provencher,Jesse C. Vermaire,Stephanie Avery-Gomm,Birgit M. Braune,Mark L. Mallory +4 more
TL;DR: This work examines the terminal portion of the gastrointestinal tract of a seabird known to commonly ingest plastics to determine if seabirds excrete microplastics and other debris via their guano, and examines how guano collections may be used as an indicator of retained plastics.
