They are showing up in fish stomachs and in beaches across the country, but how are oesophagus clips escaping the meatworks?
It starts with a very puzzled fisherman in The Catlins. Wondered why the big kahawai I caught recently was so skinny . until I checked the stomach contents and found it full of plastic, he posts on Facebook.
