sealord > The Champ Rouget shore near Chouet that Guernsey Climate Action Network (G-CAN) members have decided to clean of marine litter on a regular basis.  The shore accumulates marine debris discarded by shipping and fishing boats in the English Channel.  This image shows the shore during a neap tide after the clean-up.  We left two broken-up crab and lobster pots above the high water mark near the dinghies as they were too cumbersome to remove.

sealord > This is the same as the previous image with a superimposed red line showing the length of the strandline that Guernsey Climate Action Network volunteers cleaned of marine debris and litter on 18 February 2008.  G-CAN members cleared plastic and nylon litter from 75 yards of strandline.  The next image shows how much litter was on this short stretch of beach.  The 18 February 2008 beach cleaning represents the third time this shore has been cleared of marine debris since World Ocean's Day on 8 June 2007.
