Polkerris.......... A vast array of debris

 Another day and another visit to Polkerris! I shall never tire of visiting this beach. 

There was a large quantity of debris, overall, it was mainly micro plastics.... nurdles were scattered along the various tidelines


The new moon, led to a very low tide; it gave us the opportunity to pick up debris caught in the seaweed along the harbour wall.

Before we left, we decided to go and look at the rock pools. It is always sad to see plastic floating in them. We were able to scoop the blue plastic out, but then we noticed this white bottle top lodged between the rocks, despite our best efforts, we were unable to dislodge it


There were lots of sweet wrappers today; most were stuffed in a larger bag and included all sorts of different sweets


These clear bottle lids are always a prominent feature on the beach... You can see the varying stages of breaking down


Numerous beads / plastic balls and nurdles . I am pretty sure nurdles get bigger each year and the variety of colours is also increasing

Stay safe x
