Plastic pollution of oceans is a global issue. Sea turtle debris ingestion has been widely documented, but there is little consistency in the methods used to classify ingested plastic debris and most solely measure plastic debris morphology. Examining physical characteristics of plastic debris will increase our ability to identify the factors that affect sea turtle vulnerability to plastic pollution. We analyzed 81 scientific articles studying sea turtle diet from 1998 to 2017 and assessed the most common classification methods. Only 57 papers analyzed ingested plastic debris and of these studies 49 did not use a standard protocol. Most publications that classified ingested plastic debris examined the texture (43%), while 34% classified by ...
