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 > The pebble beach by the bathing pools at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast was littered with wooden ice cream sticks on the night of 10 June 2007. I didn't collect the wooden sticks because the sugar remaining on them was being devoured by a horde of sea slaters, Ligia oceanica. Sea slaters are largely nocturnal. I visited the pebble beach from 10 pm to midnight. Sea slaters were running across the pebbles, drinking out of soda cans and yoplait containers, and eating the sugary remains stuck to ice cream sticks.

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).
