Seagulls at a Seafood Waste Site

Regulated fish waste dump sites can attract predators, such as these seagulls, fish, and even small sharks, which feed on the scraps.

What happens to the waste coming out of a fish processing plant? Typically the fish guts and bones get sent to sea via a pipeline, and the Environmental Protection Agency regulates how much can be dumped. The sites can attract predators, such as these seagulls, fish, and even small sharks in Alaska, which feed on the scraps.
