Sad but true.I've genuinely picked up a TESCO carrier bag in the sea off Zakynthos - someone carried it two thousand miles just to dump it in a marine reserve.
Twuntz.
When you see a loggerhead turtle going for a tasty-looking jellyfish, that you know is a carrier bag, right in front of you, and you also know there's no way in hell you're going to get to it first...

There’s that photo going around of two jars, one contains a jellyfish, the other a plastic bag. I have to have a second look whenever I see it, I don’t now how marine life would stand a chance. It’s crazy.

Well, the outcome was, the turtle swam up to the bag,went round it, and then headed off, leaving me to clear it up.
Seemed like good news, but on reflection, probably means she's learned the hard way they aren't good eating, and already has a gut full that she'll still have the day she dies. That's the sad truth of it. They're unable to spit anything out because their throats are this long loop of one-way spines that trap anything they eat, so they can squeeze out the sea water before swallowing.
