Crab Survives Months In Bottle

OkinawaA crab spent months trapped in a bottle.

It shows how plastic now carries species across oceans continuously, not once a century.

The crab ate algae growing on the bottle’s walls and juvenile fish that swam in, researchers found.

Unlike driftwood, plastic never rots, letting stowaways ride currents indefinitely into new waters.
