Sydney's Sewage System: Billions of Microplastics Pollute Coastal Waters
Sydney's Malabar wastewater treatment plant discharges 5.4 billion to 120 billion microplastics daily into the ocean due to its outdated primary treatment, while the more advanced Cronulla plant discharges far less; this pollution, along with human waste, threatens marine life and coastal areas.

Plastic Ingestion Causes Unseen Harm in Baby Seabirds
A study in Science Advances reveals that baby seabirds on Lord Howe Island, even with seemingly small amounts of ingested plastic, exhibit liver and kidney dysfunction, stomach lining damage, and neurodegeneration, as discovered through blood analysis of 31 sable shearwater chicks.
