         Seabirds feed on small fish and other marine debris as they migrate through the ocean. Black-footed albatrosses, which breed on Torishima Island in the Izu Islands, "encounter" marine debris such as Styrofoam, plastic pieces, and fishing nets. Not only does this increase the risk of ingestion of debris and the birds becoming entangled in fishing nets, but it may also reduce their chances of encountering their natural prey. I would like to contribute to  SDG 14 (LIFE BELOW WATER) through research on the impact of marine debris on the marine ecosystem.
