Protocol on plastic ingested by sea turtles in a video tutorial!

From today online the first video tutorial for the analysis of plastic ingested by sea turtles. The scientific protocol, shared at European and Mediterranean level, will allow to meet the requirements established by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the Barcelona Convention.

Thanks to the tutorial, all participating countries will use the same standardized methodology to extract, catalog and analyze the waste ingested by sea turtles. The great news of this product, produced from the project INDICIT, is the publication of the protocol in the journal JoVE not only in paper format but also videos.
