A Citizen's Guide to Plastics in the Ocean: More Than a Litter Problem
buzzby avatar reviewed on + 6062 more book reviews


Paid for by the Society of the Plastics Industry (the trade group) and NOAA, concentrates on the short term problems of littered beaches and effects on wildlife, not a lot on medium and long term problems such as degradability and toxicity. It focusses mostly on the problem of trash from marine vessels, a lot of which has been corralled by legislation since this was written.
