More than 1,000 pieces of plastic,including 115 cups,25 bags,4 bottles and 2 flip-flops（人字拖鞋）,have been found inside a dead whale in Indonesia,according to the local officials.
“The whale,found washed ashore Monday in Wakatobi National Park,had already rotten away when rescuers arrived.So investigators were unable to determine whether it was the the plastic that had caused its death,”said Lukas Adhyakso,the conservation director of the World Wildlife Fund in Indonesia.“The plastic weighed about 6 kilograms,or 13 pounds,”he said.
But images of the dead whale continued to widely spread throughout Indonesia,a country that has started to reflect upon its overuse of plastics.Indonesia,a nation of about 260 million people spread over thousands of islands in Southeast Asia,was the world's second biggest producer of plastic waste in 2015,behind only China,according to a study in the journalScience.
“Taking in plastic can give whales a false sense of satiation （飽足）,leading them to eat less food that provides the nutrients they need,”said Nicholas Mallos,director of the Trash Free Seas Program at Ocean Conservancy,an environmental nonprofit organization.Consumption of plastics can lead to reduced weight,energy and swimming speed,making whales more vulnerable to their natural enemies.
“More than 800 species of marine animals are easily exposed to the estimated 8.8 million tons of plastics deposited each year in the ocean,for which they would be likely to be harmed，”Mallos said.Plastics can trap animals and get them stuck,sometimes causing them to drown,or pierce elements of their digestive systems after being swallowed.
