Over 300 New Species Discovered (and garbage) in The Australian Abyss

Over 300 New Species Discovered in The Australian Abyss | Chronicle Day



Citando:

"Considering that the creatures brought to the surface have been living in freezing temperatures and complete darkness, it is expected that they are a bit grotesque looking.



However, the visual appeal of those species is not the shocking thing. The shock came from the fact that the ocean floor seems to contain a high level of rubbish that has been piling up for more than 200 years. The research team found bottles, PVC pipes, wood chips, beer cans and a multitude of other rubbish. It is hoped that this information will resonate far and will result in the change in collective attitudes concerning the rubbish disposal worldwide."
