Sharks high on cocaine, caffeine and common painkillers have been detected in waters around the Bahamas. The discovery, made by Brazilian scientists, points to rising levels of pharmaceutical and illicit drug pollution even in relatively remote marine ecosystems.
The findings, published in the journal Environmental Pollution, are based on blood samples collected from 85 sharks near Eleuthera. Of these, 28 individuals across three species tested positive for various substances, as reported by NY Post, citing the research.
