Disturbance on marine wildlife is one of the serious negative impacts of marine debris. In this study, the ratio of Black-faced Spoonbills" nests that includes plastic marine debris was surveyed in an islet. The ratio of Black-faced Spoonbills’ nests containing plastic marine debris decreased from 71% in 2011 to 37% in 2011 after natural materials were provided. The total number of nests increased from 28 in 2010 to 38 in 2011. We need to pay more conservation efforts to prevent further negative impacts.
