Does concrete float in the ocean and get eaten by fish, birds, sea turtles shrimp, etc. on down the food chain?

I didn't know fish, sea turtles, etc. ate out of land fills.

What we find in the waterways are illegal dumping. More harmful things than plastic are being dumped illegally.

In August, Science told us it was considering adding an Expression of Concern to a high-profile paper about how human pollution is harming fish — and yesterday, the journal did it.
The move comes after a group of researchers alleged the paper contains missing data, and the authors followed a problematic methodology. In September, however, the co-authors’ institution, Uppsala University in Sweden, concluded there wasn’t enough evidence to launch a misconduct investigation.
The notice from Science stems from the theft of a computer carrying some of the paper’s raw data, making it impossible to reproduce some of its findings: Read the rest of this entry »
