New research has sounded the alarm over toxic, polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), after 127 whales and dolphins analyzed were found with “unprecedented” levels of PFAS contamination, referred to as 'forever chemicals' for their failure to degrade. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday #PFAS

#Seaturtles face severe threats from plastic pollution through #ingestion, mistaking plastic for food, causing internal blockages, injuries, malnutrition, and death, and #entanglement in items like #ghostnets, leading to drowning, injury, or starvation. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday

💡Inspired by natural polymers like DNA, chemists have devised a way to engineer plastic so it breaks down when it is no longer needed, rather than polluting the environment www.newscientist.com/article/2506...

💡A new non-toxic solvent enables efficient separation and near-complete recycling of cotton - #Polyester #Textiles, preserving fiber quality and offering a sustainable solution for mixed-fiber waste. ♻️ phys.org/news/2025-11...

Ghost gear accounts for at least 10% of all marine litter and comprises approximately 46% of the #GreatPacificGarbagePatch. Estimates are that #GhostNets kill at least 136,000 seals, sea lions, and large whales annually, in addition to countless other species. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

🚨 MICROPLASTICS FOUND IN HUMAN BONES AND GUESS WHAT - THEY’RE BAD NEWS www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Researchers believe that by removing single-use plastic items, microplastics in the sea are significantly reduced. A recent study documented that removing plastic items from a coastline resulted in a 99.5% reduction in microplastics. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Plastics have quickly become one of the world's most prevalent environmental pollutants. 430 million tons of plastic are produced annually, with 11 million tons ending up in our oceans. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CoastalCleanup

Where Ocean Plastic Actually Ends Up 😨

Negotiations over a global plastic pollution treaty collapsed on Friday as countries failed to bridge wide gaps on whether the world should limit plastic manufacturing and restrict the use of harmful plastic chemicals.

AI is helping to develop tougher plastics: Using stress-responsive molecules identified by a machine-learning model, chemists created polymers that are more resistant to tearing. 💡This could lead to more durable plastics and cut down on plastic waste.♻️ news.mit.edu/2025/ai-help...
