'Leatherbacks and Jellies" - In 2005, I had the unique opportunity to study the critically endangered Leatherback turtle in Costa Rica. The primary food of Leatherbacks is jellyfish. Plastic floating around in the ocean resembles jellyfish, so the turtles eat it and die. The plastic blocks their internal digestive and reproductive system, but it can also become entangled around flippers and essentially 'amputate' that limb.
