Most debris was found in the distal portion of the large intestine
(98%), although some was also found in the stomach (40%) and the
oesophagus (16%). Wrappers, bags and hard pieces of plastic were
most frequently ingested (Table 1). The size of the debris was variable,
ranging from small hard plastic pieces (0.5–3.0 cm) to large
sections of bags (>15.0 cm) (Fig. 4). Plastic debris was found
embedded in a jelly like mucous material in the stomachs (Fig. 5).
