Study finds plastic pollutants inside the bodies of deep-sea amphipods living in oceanic trenches

The video explores the discovery of amphipods in the deep Pacific Ocean and their analysis for plastic fibers. Researchers at Newcastle University dissected these creatures, finding man-made fibers in their stomachs. Advanced technology in Milton Keynes confirmed these fibers as plastic. The study highlights the shocking extent of plastic pollution, revealing its presence even in the deepest ocean trenches and confirming its global scale.
