A stormy trip to Polkerris, Cornwall

 Another day and another band of rain infiltrating the South West. The poor weather conditions are causing the waves to be pretty ferocious looking!

We arrived for our beach clean just as dawn was breaking - a rare opportunity to be the only people on the beach

The rough seas have deposited a large amount of micro plastics

Every time we walked along the tideline, a fresh consignment of plastic was left...

Woody found a bundle of fishing nets again; he got to them before me and ended up with them tangled on his paws

Another knife handle and a scary looking contraption with sharp teeth and staples; I can only presume this is something to do with fishing

we found 3 food wrappers that were just intact enough to read the brands

This glow stick is one of many that i find at virtually all my beach cleans. I believe these are something to do with fishing and they clip onto the lines. I wonder how the liquid inside affects the marine habitat?

Stay safe x
