Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying ingested debris in marine megafauna: a review and recommendations for standardization
Jennifer F. Provencher,Jennifer F. Provencher,Alexander L. Bond,Stephanie Avery-Gomm,Stephanie B. Borrelle,Elisa L. Bravo Rebolledo,Sjúrður Hammer,Susanne Kühn,Jennifer L. Lavers,Mark L. Mallory,Alice M. Trevail,Jan A. van Franeker +11 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern fulmars as biological monitors of trends of plastic pollution in the eastern North Pacific
Stephanie Avery-Gomm,Patrick D. O'Hara,Lydia U. Kleine,Victoria Bowes,Laurie K. Wilson,Karen L. Barry +5 more
TL;DR: This study substantiates the use of northern fulmar as biomonitors of plastic pollution in the North Pacific and suggests that the high levels of plasticpollution in this region warrant further monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic ingestion in marine-associated bird species from the eastern North Pacific.
TL;DR: This work examined the stomach contents of 20 bird species collected from the coastal waters of the eastern North Pacific, a region known to have high levels of plastic pollution, and observed no evidence of plastic ingestion in Rhinoceros Auklet, Marbled Murrelet or Pigeon Guillemot, and low levels in Common Murre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic pollution in the Labrador Sea: An assessment using the seabird northern fulmar Fulmarus glacialis as a biological monitoring species.
TL;DR: The northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis), a widely-distributed seabird species, has been used as a biological monitor for plastic pollution in the North Sea, and could be a useful monitoring species elsewhere.
