There are now at least five major garbage patches in the world's oceans,

and much of that trash is plastic.

But last month, researchers said they can only account for 1% of the plastic

they'd expect to find in the oceans.

So where'd the rest of it go?

Well, animals eat some of it. Plastics been found in

turtles, seabirds, fish, plankton, shellfish, even bottom feeding invertebrates. But there's another way

sea creatures might be accumulating plastic, by sucking up tiny plastic particles with their siphons

and gills. Researchers added common shore crabs,

carcinus manis, to tanks of seawater containing millions of tiny plastic particles, just 10 microns

in diameter. After 16 hours, all the crabs had plastic lodged in their gills. And the particles

stuck around for up to three weeks, too. The results are in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

The longer plastic sits in an animal, researchers say,

the better the chances it'll travel up the food chain,

meaning all our plastic waste could come back to bite us,
