We aimed to quantify the ingestion of anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) by sea turtles based on studies on the diet of species found on the Brazilian coast. The data were obtained by literature review, using Google Scholar for the search in scientific journals, since 2009, with the keywords "marine turtle"; "sea turtle"; "debris"; "plastic"; "litter"; "diet"; "food habits"; eating habits; "Brazil". Fifteen studies were selected from the northeast, southeast and south regions, with Chelonia mydas being the most studied. The number of individuals analyzed ranged from 13 to 777, the percentage of turtles that consumed the debris ranged from 20 to 100% per study, and death caused primarily by ingestion of RSA reached 65%. Plastics (82%) were th...
