Melted plastic has become intertwined with volcanic rock on Trindade Island, which lies 1,140 km from mainland Brazil. Researchers from the Federal University of Parana have named these rocks ‘plastiglomerates’. They are made of rock granules and other debris fused together by melted plastic. Tests show that the plastic comes mostly from discarded fishing nets. #plastic #pollution #brazil #turtles #marinelife #oceanlife
