Much of the litter arriving in Havelet Bay on Guernsey's east coast on the morning of the 2nd March 2022 was from a container lost at sea by the ship W.E.C. Van Eyck on the 16th February 2022 off the coast of Brittany, France.
The plastic products were destined for Lidl Supermarkets in Spain. They comprised principally Cien brand eye makeup remover bottles, Dentalux toothbrushes, and W5 plastic air fresheners.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.
Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.
Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.
The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
