− | <p>Each day Londoners consume more cocaine than Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona combined. This massive cocaine problem in London affects more than just the people, much of the large quantities consumed are excreted and so make their way into the rivers and wider ecosystems around the city. The ramifications on wildlife have already been significant and if nothing is done to stop it, then the world could be looking at an extinction level event. </p> | + | <p>The massive cocaine problem in London affects more than just the people, much of the large quantities consumed are excreted and so make their way into the rivers and wider ecosystems around the cities.

− | <p>The largest effects of this pollution are felt by the Anguilla anguilla or the European Eel. It is currently critically endangered as its populations have seen the steepest downwards trend of any freshwater fish. Concentrations as low as 30ng/L can cause degradation of their skeletal muscles that will prevent them from migrating to their breeding ground in the Sargasso sea. This means there are less eels to mate, so less new eels are being born each mating season, and so their population continues to decline. | + | <p>The largest effects of this pollution are felt by the <i>Anguilla anguilla</i> or the European Eel.
