Can’t eat cocaine sharks was on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are.

How are they getting cocaine?

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like so:

Cocaine pollutes the sea due to sewage discharges from humans who use the drug, as well as the illegal laboratories that produce it, study co-author Enrico Mendes Saggioro, an ecotoxicologist at the foundation, told CNN on Tuesday.

And as a side-note: cocaine being dumped at sea was considered as a possibility, but was ruled out:

Previous research suggested that cocaine dumped at sea by traffickers could be responsible for contamination, but that is not the case here, said Mendes Saggioro. β€œWe don’t usually see many bales of coke dumped or lost at sea here, unlike what is reported in Mexico and Florida,” he said.

Thanks, I missed the first paragraph

~~Probably cocaine lost or tossed during sea transport~~

Edit: Sewage discharge and improper waste disposal by producers it seems

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Or flushed (pre or post use), or just lost as runoff during processing.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Article says it's not that though; that dumping cocaine happens in Mexico and Florida but not Brazil.

You right, I didn't read carefully. Comment has been ammended

Brazil doesn't really seem like a cocaine county. Are they sure the sharks aren't Argentinian?
