The report said that some members of the organization had picked up 800 plastic trays on a beach within an hour.
It is unclear where these discs came from, or how much of them come from the ocean, but Clean Sea Life suspects they are part of water purification equipment that was washed away in heavy rain or somehow fell into the sea. .
Oceanographers are studying eyewitness logs to try to find the locations that are most likely to have oil spills. They think this is somewhere in the Gulf of Naples, because the plates look northwards according to the torrent.
The organization reminded the public to let them know that they had discovered these plastic dishes. More importantly, they would pick up all the dishes.
'If it's done right away, we won't find hundreds of plastic trays in Tyrrhenian a month later,' Clean Sea Life said. 'If we don't accept them now, they will forever contaminate our ocean, little by little. It splits into smaller and smaller pieces, not completely disappearing.
According to Greenpeace, studies have shown that more than 90% of wastes floating in the Mediterranean or deep sea floor are plastic and have a particularly high microplastic concentration – the fragment length is less than 5mm, and the current measurement value is 120 per square kilometer. Thousands, worse than directly contaminating the beach, this pollution will have a devastating effect on marine life, marine life will become disorganized or be swallowed up. And once it enters the food chain, we may also eat it.
