marine biologist + diver @jacintashackleton filmed some great barrier reef locals having a little snack.
"while this turtle is safely munching on crystal jellyfish there are many turtles ingesting plastic across the world 🌏 we can do better for these amazing animals!"
it's little wonder why turtles are eating so much plastic when you can see from this clip just how similar plastic and jellyfish look when floating around in the ocean.
to echo @jacintashackleton's message, we can absolutely lessen our impact by reducing, reusing and recycling. let's give these gorgeous creatures a better chance going forward and say no thank you to single-use plastics wherever we can!
