Plastic in fish highlights need for cleaner Thames
Up to three-quarters of fish sampled from the River Thames have been found to have plastic fibres in their gut.
The Port of London Authority (PLA) has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the curse of litter.It wants public support to stop plastic from getting into the Thames.The PLA has teamed with other groups, including the charity Thames21, to ask people to "Do The Right Thing" and make sure any rubbish they have goes securely into a bin.The PLA has 16 barges positioned on the river to catch floating debris. Called "passive driftwood collectors", these devices are catching plastic.Of course, much of the plastic debris is not being caught, and is simply going out to sea to add more problems of waste in our oceans.
This year, I expect to improve my english and learn new things about science and english.
