As with many places we suffered damage with the Winter storms. Down at Swanlake Bay many who walk there help to keep the beach and surrounds clean of rubbish brought in by the tide.
The intense storm not only brought in lots of rubbish but also ripped the neatly bagged and ready to be disposed of pile that lay above the beach.
It all got distributed around the beach in the bay. If nothing else this scene brings home just how much we are polluting the seas around the world with our indiscriminate throwing away of plastics and other manmade junk.
From rope to many forms of plastic.
By far one of the biggest sources of rubbish found are plastic bottles. Of which most are drinks and water bottles. We are clogging the sea with bottles!
I'm not sure if this is a sight that is good or bad. Goose barnacles take advantage of a floating plastic bottle to form a small colony.
