Detailed explanation-1: -Plastic Cutlery Plastic cutlery is one of the most deadly plastics for sea turtles, birds and marine animals. Sharp, highly likely to be contaminated, and commonly found in waterways, these plastics can cause serious injuries. Seabirds and turtles who eat the plastic pieces get internal injuries and poisoning.
