Description:

"Early information on sea turtle feeding habits indicated that sea turtles were capable of eating large amounts of non-nutritional items. Carr (1952) reported that a hawksbill turtle was found with two pounds of "dead bark and wood" in its stomach, an interesting observation for an animal which is now believed to be a strict spongivore (Meylan, 1988). It was 23 years later that Carr and Stancyk (1975) reported large amounts of plastics being eaten by Caribbean hawksbills, a disturbing omen of what was happening to the World's oceans"--Introduction, paragraph 1.
