Assessment of marine debris ingestion by sea turtles is important, especially to ensure their survival. From January to December 2011, 23 specimens of five species of sea turtles were found dead or dying after being rehabilitated, along the coast of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. To detect the presence of marine debris in the digestive tract of these turtles, we conducted a postmortem examination from the esophagus until the distal portion of the large intestine for each specimen. Of the total number of turtles, 39% had ingested marine debris such as soft plastic, hard plastic, metal, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle caps, human hair, tampons, and latex condoms. Five of the seven sea turtles species are found along the Brazilian coast, where they feed and breed. A large number of animals are exposed to various kinds of threats, including debris ingestion.
评估海龟吞食海洋垃圾的情况很重要，特别是为了确保它们的生存。2011年1月至12月期间，在巴西里约热内卢市沿海，23只分属五种海龟的标本在接受康复治疗后被发现死亡或濒死。为了检测这些海龟消化道中是否存在海洋垃圾，我们对每个标本从食道直至大肠远端进行了尸检。在所有海龟中，39%吞食了诸如软塑料、硬塑料、金属、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯（PET）瓶盖、人类毛发、卫生棉条和乳胶避孕套等海洋垃圾。七种海龟中有五种在巴西沿海被发现，它们在那里觅食和繁殖。大量动物面临各种威胁，包括吞食垃圾。
