一名苏格兰岛民在海滩清理过程中发现了数十年之久的塑料废物,包括1980年代的龙虾标签,揭示了海洋污染在全球的持久影响。 A Scottish islander found decades-old plastic waste, including 1980s lobster tags, during a beach cleanup, revealing the lasting, global reach of ocean pollution.

在奥克尼群岛的一个苏格兰岛屿Sanday的一位男子在海滩清理过程中发现大量塑料废物,包括1988年和1989年纽芬兰的龙虾标签。 A man on Sanday, a Scottish island in the Orkney archipelago, found an unusually high amount of plastic waste during beach clean-ups, including lobster tags from Newfoundland dated 1988 and 1989. David Warner与Sanday社区手工艺中心合作,收集了400多个塑料瓶,比去年的42个塑料瓶还多得多,还有可能来自英国的其他碎片,有些是1971年以前的碎片。 David Warner, working with the Sanday Community Craft Hub, collected over 400 plastic bottles—far more than last year’s 42—alongside other debris likely from the UK, some predating 1971. 发现数十年之久的塑料突出显示了单用途塑料的长期影响以及海洋污染的全球影响,即使在偏远沿海地区也是如此。 The discovery of decades-old plastic highlights the long-lasting impact of single-use plastics and the global reach of ocean pollution, even in remote coastal areas.
