Abstract: Plastic circulates at sea threatening marine megafauna. Southern Giant Petrels (SGP, Macronectes giganteus) are known to consume plastic, but the source and accumulation areas of marine litter remain unknown. The goal of this study is to understand how foraging behavior of SGP will impact...
