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. File No. 220609 5823 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > This image shows the litter picked up along a 75 yard stretch of strandline at Champ Rouget on Guernsey's north-west coast. The litter includes crisp packets, cigarette lighters, plastic bottles, beer cans, styrofoam pieces, plastic tray packaging, a shoe, nylon line, nylon twine, nylon rope, a plastic basket, tins, plastic yoghurt containers, plastic bottle lids, plastic containers, and plastic sheeting. Much of the litter appears to have come from shipping and fishing boats. There was a metal container from Tunisia. File No. 170208 3181 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This is the mid-shore area of the southern end of Belle Greve Bay near the Salerie quay looking out towards the Quaine pole in the distance which is reachable by foot during an extremely low tide. I found this Guernsey Safeway plastic carrier bag lying on the beach and took an image of it before picking it up. Guernsey retail food shoppers used about 10 million plastic carrier bags per year before a £0.05 charge was introduced in 2008. Stopping the free distribution of plastic carrier bags at Guernsey retail food shops has significantly reduced the number being distributed. However a few plastic carrier bags still end up in the environment. Because of their light weight, some plastic carrier bags are blown onto the shore where they may be carried out to sea to be ingested by cetaceans, marine birds or turtles. See http://pagesperso-orange.fr/gecc/publications/pdf/PosterSeattle2002.pdf Those that don't get ingested can degrade to invisible microscopic particles which then begin their journey through the food chain back to humans. Disposable plastic carrier bags represent such a wasteful use of oil. They provide a short term convenience and a long-term environmental hazard. Please bring a shopping bag with you when you shop. There are plenty of ways of remembering to bring a shopping bag with you. I have one attached to my belt loop so I never forget it.
