I went walkies down the beach today and in 4 miles I saw only 3 bits of plastic wrap,1 small and one large Coke bottle,5 logs and 1 pine cone.Not prefic ,but not too bad.But then the tourist season has yet to start.
The only folks there today were walkers,folks with dogs and 2 horsemen.
On more exposed coasts I have seen lots more stuff that comes in from God knows where on the tides and it occurred to me that there may be a partial solution here to the pollution problem.Most councils and authorities are strapped for cash to fund essential work like cleaning up beaches but if you study the coast you will see that there are hot spots for rubbish.Same as after a drownings the bodies will ,if ever found,will wash up at the same place all the time.So maybe a blitz on the hotspots would be a big help? The other less polluted places could be done by volunteers.Just a drop in the ocean I suppose..................................
