Sea turtles consume jellyfish as their main meal, but because they can't see the difference between jellyfish and plastic bags, they frequently ingest plastic bags by accident, causing major stomach problems and finally death.
Sea Lion
Discarded fishing gear, ropes, and plastic loops will entangle sea lions. Their bodies will get increasingly intertwined in rubbish as they grow older. They will harm their respiratory system in addition to blocking their activities or growth. They were finally smothered to death.
Seabirds rely on their sense of smell to find food, but plankton connected to plastic rubbish generates a chemical called dimethyl sulfide, which causes the waste to smell like decaying seaweed, leading to seabirds mistaking it for food and swallowing it by accident. Obstruction of the intestines and stomach causes death.
In 2019, a whale ran aground on the beach in Hualien. After autopsy, it was found that all three stomachs were full of garbage, and she was actually pregnant with a baby whale in her womb.
Walrus
The walrus's face is covered with bruises caused by plastic ropes.
Scientists say that the worst case is that when the rope loop is inserted into the neck of a marine animal cub, as the cub grows, the rope loop will become tighter and tighter, deeply embedded in the meat, and slowly strangle it.
