Dugong's death reminds Thais to reduce plastic waste

A young dugong named Marium was found dead with an autopsy showing a lot of plastic waste inside her intestine. Its death leads to a campaign by Thai government and Thai environment organisations to remind Thais to reduce plastic waste and not to dispose rubbish in the ocean.
