There has been a lot of press about plastic in the ocean.
The linked BBC contribution is the first record that came to
my attention about a direct impact on large animals (Shearwaters).

While this is not a direct Nova Scotia story, there are
e.g. Leach's Storm Petrel colonies where chicks may be
similarly fed plastic debris.

If somebody knows about similar findings or research
along our shores, I would be interested.
