Todays adventure found us visiting Spit Point, on our walk down to the beach we passed a lovely chap, who said we would have the beach to ourselves! Perfect!
Woody enjoyed the opportunity to investigate the beach off the lead; he even managed to find some plastic which washed up! It was a little big for us to lug home though :(
On the whole, there was little litter / plastic pollution along this stretch of coast, but you needed to get amongst the rocks to find most of it; this is where it got trapped on the incoming tides. Due to the impending new moon, we were able to make the most of a very low tide and enjoyed looking in the roc pools. The water was crystal clear and we saw a range of marine life going about their business! It was therefore really sad to see tiny particles of plastic floating around; they were tiny and impossible to remove. How devastating to see such a pristine environment blighted by plastic.
We are always interested in finding dates in litter; this can had a best before date of 2016
It is easy to get disheartened and very easy to decide there is little point to removing the plastic / litter we find, but i firmly believe that every piece we remove does make a difference.
stay safe x
