Trash in the oceans and seas is a big problem with which you are constantly fighting.
However, there is a problem, which is called the garbage spot and which you should overcome before you get real money for collecting garbage in the water.
The problem is the fact that in many animal ecologists find plastic and kill them in large numbers. While scientists could not understand why a certain time of life animals just start to eat the plastic waste and eat them until death. Now the secret is revealed and it’s shocking.
The answer lies in the sulfur compound — dimethyl sulfide that exists in those wastes that are in the ocean. These compounds become a kind of benchmark for the animals that are using your sense of smell looking for food over large areas. That is, in fact, animals do not need to the food was similar to food and had a familiar taste, just need the coincidence of the scent marker.
Find out is able to scientists from the University of California. They created in the ocean limited territory, on which was placed three different kinds of plastic, three weeks later, they sent plastic from the ocean to the lab and found that all the samples smelled of dimethyl sulfide. The experiments also showed that birds such as the Albatross and Petrel, were conducted on these, as they thought, edible aromas.
