Summary:
Scientists have long known that
marine animals mistakenly eat plastic debris because tiny bits of floating
plastic look like prey. But a new study of plastic ingestion by corals suggests
there may be an additional reason for the potentially harmful behavior: The
plastic simply tastes good. Chemical additives in the plastic may be acting as
a feeding stimulant.
