Guernsey beach cleans and marine litter
Marine debris washes up on the Guernsey shore regularly. Much of it is from ships including fishing boats. Storms bring up broken crab and lobster pots. Beach cleaners often find an odd shoe, cigarette lighters, plastic polymer fishing rope, twine, and line, pieces of polystyrene and insulation foam, plastic bags and plastic bottles, and thousands of pieces of hard plastic including disposable plastic cutlery, plastic bottle tops and plastic toys.
500 ml Avant brand plastic water bottle washed up at Petit Port on Guernsey's south coast on the 18th February 2022
102 x 500 ml capacity Avant plastic water bottles full of fresh water were collected from Petit Port on Guernsey's south coast on the evening of the 18th February 2022.
These bottles were also collected from Scilly Islands beaches on the 4th and 5th January 2022 and later in the month from the Cornish beaches.
It is possible that these plastic water bottles were from a cargo loss that occurred in November 2021.
