sealord > The litter items in this image were collected from the small pebble beach by La Valette bathing pools on the morning of Sunday 21 June 2009 before people arrived on the beach.  Some of the broken cans had clearly been on the shore or in the sea for sometime.  Someone had thrown glass bottles onto the beach where they smashed.  This amount of litter represents a significant reduction in litter compared to the collection on 1 June.  This reduction may be the result of the BBC's Beach Watch campaign at the beginning of the month.

sealord > My wife and I collected all the litter we could find on the pebble beach at La Valette on the morning of 21 June 2009 (previous image).  We returned that evening at dusk to find this litter on the shore.  This image shows the litter left on the shore by La Valette bathing pools during a 12 hour period.  One party of people had left twelve Robinson's Fruit shoot plastic bottles in one location on the shore.  The remaining amount of litter is minor but because most of this litter is not biodegradable it will accumulate on the beach and possibly impact wildlife and present an aesthetic nuisance to tourists and residents.  The plastic bottles and aluminium cans can be recycled.  This litter was photographed the following morning on 22 June 2009.

sealord > Rubbish collected from the pebble beach by the bathing pools at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast on Sunday night, June 10, 2007, after a hot day on the shore.  The rubbish included empty crisp bags, empty cans of soda, a plastic Ribena bottle, plastic bags, plastic bottle tops, a broken styrofoam box, a hair brush, sweet wrappers, a plastic lid to a styrofoam cup, pieces of a styrofoam cup, and pieces of aluminium can.  The majority of litter had been deposited in a green garbage bin at the top of the beach but this rubbish was left on the small beach.  Under the pebbles I found small thimble-sized plastic caps to water and soda bottles.  The litter also included a rather nice hair brush, which I disposed of.  Last week the pebble beach litter included a baby's dummy (pacifier).
