Plastic waste in the Thames will devastate marine life, report warns
Description: An unseen stream of plastic rubbish flowing along the bed of the river Thames and out into the North Sea will have far-reaching effects on marine life, a new report indicates.

But scientists said the figures highlighted an underestimated problem. [Source: The Guardian]
