Charles Moore Abstract: Plastic has completely consumed human life. We wake up to alarm clocks made of plastic, take showers with soaps and shampoos in plastic bottles, brush our teeth with plastic toothbrushes and this is only the beginning. Plastics expand into every aspect of our lives. Plastic has shaped daily lives in an unbelievable fashion since its creation and implementation in the early 1900s. Plastic was first created by a man named Leo Hendrik Baekeland, a Belgian-born American. Plastic has consumed lives and as a result entered into the ecosystems around us due to our wasteful society.

Data on Sotalia guianensis Van Bénéden, 1864 occurrence on the beaches of Pernambuco (Northeast- ern Brazil) is restricted to information on stranding and on printed material from local newspapers; actual observations of such animals have not been published. This study intends to determine the use of habitat, behavioral activities and assess the relationships between environmental factors and the recorded behavior. Observations were conducted on open sea coastal areas, on the beaches of Olinda and Piedade, as well as in sheltered areas, in the ports of Recife and Suape. Monitoring was carried out every month in each area, during two consecutive days, from September 2004 to August 2005. Results corroborate that this species prefers to occupy more protected environments, the port of Recife being the main concentration area for such species. Piedade is just an exploratory area, possibly due to shark occurrence. Olinda is only occasionally used. Concen- tration areas seem to be used for feeding, and incidence of caudal exhibition suggests that most of the estuarine dolphin prey items are demersal.

    FLORÍSTICA DAS PRAIAS DA ILHA DE SÃO LUÍS, ESTADO DO MARANHÃO (BRASIL): DIVERSIDADE DE ESPÉCIES E SUAS OCORRÊNCIAS NO LITORAL BRASILEIRO. Maria Cristina C. CABRAL FREIRE, Reinaldo MONTEIRO 1 RESUMO — A Ilha de São Luís, situada ao norte do Estado do Maranhão, constitui-se numa região de transição entre duas floras distintas: flora amazônica e flora nordestina. Considerando esta peculiar situação fitogeográfica, o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar o levantamento florístico nas prais arenosas da Ilha de São Luis e compaará-lo com os de outras áreas amostradas no litoral brasileiro. Foram totalizadas 260 espécies, compreendidas em 76 famílias, sendo Fabaceae com o maior número de espécies (24). A comparação floristica constatou que o estado da Bahia apresentou o maior número de espécies em comum com São Luís (63) e, em seguida, o estado do Pará (59). Dentre as espécies amostradas em São Luís, 125 foram exclusivas da região. Palavras-chave: florística, praia, diversidade. Floristics of the Beaches of São Luis Island, State of Maranhão (Brazil): Species Diversity and Occurrence in the Brazilian Coast. ABSTRACT — São Luís Island, located in the north of the State of Maranhão is itself a tran­ sitional region between the Amazonian and the northeastern floras. With such phytogeographi- cal background, the aim of this paper was to realize a floristic survey on the sandy beaches of the São Luís Island and to compare this 'survey with other areas sampled along the Brazilian coast. A total of 260 species was found, distributed in 76 families, and among these the Fabaceae presenting the highest number of species (24).
