Microplastic Ingestion Threatens Endangered Marine Otters Along Peruvian Coast
Microplastic contamination has reached a top predator along Peru's central coast, with microparticles detected in marine otter scats across all three surveyed localities. The study, which examined spring and autumn samples, found fibers dominating at 88.41 percent, with Pucusana showing the highest occurrence. These findings provide baseline evidence that endangered species are ingesting anthropogenic particles, underscoring the need for targeted waste management in human-impacted habitats.
Callao Port Integrates Shore Power, Advancing Sustainable Maritime Operations
Callao's South Terminal now runs on shore power, making it DP World's third facility to do so, alongside Canada's Prince Rupert and Vancouver ports. The move grounds maritime operations in measurable, real-time emission reductions. It is a practical step toward cleaner ports, one that aligns operational efficiency with climate indicators rather than promise. For readers tracking port electrification, our coverage of the Chattogram Port lease dispute offers a useful counterpoint on labor and governance tensions in global terminal management.
