BALLENAS DE PLÁSTICO || PLASTIC WHALES || BALENES DE PLÀSTIC (2019)

ESP || Este pasado 8 de Junio fue el día mundial de los océanos y la semana del boicot al plástico, un gesto necesario que se tendría que llevar a nuestro día a día, reducir el consumo de plástico. Una semana al año no es suficiente para la salud del planeta tierra y sobretodo para salvar la vida marina. Cada año hasta 12 millones de toneladas de basura, llegan a los océanos y mares donde los plásticos representan entre un  60% i un 80% de los residuos marinos. Todos estos plásticos perjudican seriamente la salud de los ecosistemas acuáticos y la supervivencia de las especies que los pueblan. Particularmente perjudiciales son los microplasticos (fragmentos inferiores a 5mm) que se pueden generar a partir de la rotura de trozos grandes de plásticos, como los generados con el desgaste de las camisetas, o haber sido fabricados directamente así, como en el caso de las microesferas presentes en productos de higiene y limpieza (exfoliantes, pasta de dientes, etc.), ya que al ser ingeridos por los animales marinos provocan bloqueos gastrointestinales y alternaciones en sus patrones de reproducción y alimentación. Además hay estudios que evidencian que estos microplasticos se van transfiriendo a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria. Entre un 21% y un 54% de estas partículas en el mundo se encuentran en la cuenca del mar Mediterráneo. Por otro lado, los macroplasticos (fragmentos mayores de 25mm) como bolsas de plástico, redes de pesca, botellas, etc. También impactan la vida marina incluyendo los mamíferos marines, las aves marinas y la fauna sésil (corales), ya que son causantes de enredos, asfixia, estrangulación y malnutrición. Es destacable que, aproximadamente, un 17% de las especies que ingieren o se enredan con desechos marinos aparecen en la lista roja de especies amenazadas de la unión internacional para la conservación de la naturaleza. Detalle de la ilustración “ballenas de plástico” realizada para la campaña #artistsagainstplastics de @byebyestraws

ENG || This past June 8 was the #worldoceansday and it has been all about reducing plastic consumption, a necessary gesture that should be taken to our day to day. One week a year is not enough for the health of the planet earth and above all to save marine life. Every year up to 12 million tons of garbage reach the oceans and seas. Plastics represent between 60% and 80% of marine waste. All these plastics seriously damage the health of aquatic ecosystems and the survival of the species that inhabit them. The microplastics are fragments of plastic smaller than 5mm that can be generated from the breakage of large pieces of plastics or manufactured directly like this, as in the case of microspheres present in hygiene and cleaning products (exfoliants, toothpaste, etc.). this type of plastics are particularly harmful since when ingested by marine animals it causes gastrointestinal blockages and alternations in their reproduction and feeding patterns. In addition there are studies that show that these microplastics are being transferred along the food chain. Between 21% and 54% of these particles in the world are found in the Mediterranean Sea. Furthermore macroplastics (fragments larger than 25mm) such as plastic bags, fishing nets, bottles, etc. also impact marine life including marine mammals, seabirds and sessile fauna (corals), as they cause entanglement, suffocation, strangulation and malnutrition. It’s noteworthy that, approximately, 17% of the species that ingest or become entangled with marine waste appear on the red list of endangered species of the international union for the conservation of nature.
