According to scientists, one of the main sources of pollution is the fishing industry, as the Norwegian news website iTromso.no highlights.<\/p>\n<p>Loss of gear during fishing and pieces of rope litter the environment more and more every year. Studies show that the proportion of seahorses with plastic in their stomachs has risen from 29 to 95 percent in the last 40 years and that the seahorse feeds its young with plastic. The majority of the seabirds have also got microplastic in their stomachs. Experts point out that it\u2019s not just marine life that suffers from man-made waste. In the Svalbard archipelago, for example, reindeer have become entangled in fishing gear that has washed up on shore. In this context, measures to reduce plastic waste from the fishing industry need to be introduced as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProducer responsibility arrangements for fishing equipment and improvements to waste systems in ports are absolutely essential. The industry itself is also making an effort to reduce the plastic footprint on the oceans they live on\u201d, &#8211; Gram Andersen in the Norwegian Environment Agency is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thebarentsobserver.com\/en\/2024\/07\/plastic-waste-has-increased-barents-sea-study-shows\">The Barents Observer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-564\/\">Plastic waste has increased in the Barents Sea, study shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15449,575,761],"class_list":["post-132637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-barents-sea","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132637\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
