Plastic and glass bottles, bags, cloths, empty detergent containers, syringe packs.
Everything ends up in the trawl nets of Sardinian fishermen, even tires and tin boxes .
It is not an exception, it is the norm. The images we publish come from the Sardinian sea and also from the Gulf of Cagliari: the nets, lowered to a depth between 250 and 680 meters , together with the fish catch everything.
Of particular concern are plastics destined to flake, which end up in the food chain .
The Universities of Cagliari and Marche last year published research that raised the alarm on the microplastics present in purple shrimp and scampi , fish that are often the target of trawling.
The survey was handled by Alessandro Cau, a studio also signed by Claudia Dessì, Davide Moccia, Maria Cristina Follesa and Antonio Pusceddu.
