America’s drug crisis is spilling into the sea, and scientists say it’s likely sharks are consuming illegal substances. In a first-of-its-kind experiment, a marine biologist specifically investigated what happens when sharks consume cocaine.
Marine biologist Tom “The Blowfish” Hird traveled to the Florida Keys for his research.
“This is likely the only place in the whole world where this happens,” Hird said. “It’s certainly the only place in the whole world where it happens with such frequency.”
