The macro-litter accumulating on the islands in the Easter Island Ecoregion (Rapa Nui and Salas y Gomez) can be traced back to the high seas industrial fishery operating in the South Pacific. Seabirds nesting in the MPAs in the South Pacific are affected by both microplastic ingestion and macroplastic in their nests, but there was no evidence of entangled birds. Conservation of seabirds (and other species) in these oceanic MPAs requires efficient measures to reduce plastic contamination in the ocean. Observations made in the South Pacific coincide with those from other oceanic MPAs, calling for global actions. specialized biodiversity marine litter marine protected area (MPA) oceanic islands plastic seabirds PACIFIQUE SUD CHILI RAPA NUI ILE SALAS Y GÓMEZ ILE 082 038 036 29 2 245-259 2019 1052-7613 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077117 10.1002/aqc.3095 1052-7613 [F B010077117] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077117 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2019/11/010077117.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-12-12 2025-02-24 fdi:010077117 fre
