Groundbreaking research led by Ocean Conservancy scientists and published in PNAS found that ingesting even tiny amounts of plastic can be fatal for seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals.

Groundbreaking research has revealed that marine mammals who live far below the ocean’s surface are not immune from the burden of toxic forever chemicals, with whales and dolphins showing unprecedented levels of PFAS contamination.

Researchers say the findings, the first documented case of rising temperatures driving genetic change in a mammal, offer a "glimmer of hope" for the Arctic species, which is facing possible extinction this century.

Polar bears are expected to become extinct but there are some signs their DNA is changing and they are adapting to new temperatures.
