An empty carton of Gloria UHT whole milk from Peru washed up on Guernsey's west coast

This carton of UHT whole milk from Peru was donated by Guernsey beach cleaner Barbara Crowson for me to photography. Barbara collected this Gloria UHT milk carton from a Guernsey west coast beach.

Guernsey is just south of the inbound international shipping lane in the English Channel.

Merchant ships arrive at the entrance to the English Channel from many regions of the world including the west coast of Latin America.

This UHT milk carton is almost certainly litter from a passing ship. Too many merchant ships litter at sea to reduce port waste disposal fees.

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.
