    The tons of plastic we're dumping in the oceans is finding a new home-the stomachs of our beautiful marine animals. Yet another reminder of this fact washed ashore in Eastern Indonesia this week. A large amount of waste, including drinking cups and flip-flops, was found in the stomach of a whale that died off the coast near Kapota Island.
      The 9.5-metre sperm whale(抹香鲸)was found by rescuers from the Wakatobi National Park. The whale had swallowed 5.9 kilograms of plastic waste containing 115 plastic cups,four plastic bottles,25 plastic bags,and more than 1,000 other kinds of pieces of plastic,park chief Heri Santoso told the reporter.
      "Although we have not been able to deduce the cause of death,the facts that we see are truly awful," said Dwi Suprapti,a marine species conservation co-ordinator at WWF Indonesia. She said it was not possible to determine if the plastic had caused the whale's death because of the animal's advanced state of decay(腐烂). But this is only the latest.
      Four Asian nations-Indonesia,the Philippines,Vietnam and Thailand-account for 50% of the plastic waste in the oceans, according to a report by environmental campaigner Ocean Conservancy and the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment. The Philippines is second to Indonesia when it comes to putting away plastic waste in the oceans, according to a study published in the journal Science in January. Of the 3.2 million mismanaged waste it produces every year,1.29 million ends up in the ocean.
      A report released earlier this year stated that the amount of plastic in the ocean is likely to increase.
