RSPB warns seabirds are being put at risk by plastic waste washed into the sea

The Medbery Nature Reserve in West Sussex, established to prevent flooding and support rare birds, faces a significant challenge from ocean plastics. These plastics, harmful to wildlife, are a growing concern for reserve managers. Tim Bevan, a dedicated volunteer, has collected 250 bags of waste from the reserve, highlighting the severity of the issue. The problem extends globally, with experts warning that by 2050, ocean plastics could outweigh fish. The need for sustainable living practices is urgent to protect such natural habitats.
