    But unfortunately, the ocean housing market has been facing a crisis, and a lot of them are finding themselves having to live in plastic waste.

      Is using plastic waste necessarily disadvantageous to them? Maybe they choose to us some plastic containers over mollusc shells? (Serious question)

        From what I’ve read, they often get trapped in human-made containers and die. The containers are also often less resistant and durable. However, it seems to be still unclear why they do that, if purely by lack of proper shells, or if they see some advantage in some containers.
