collecting plastic marine litter: australia

IMG_1235meIMG_1535

A month collecting plastic marine litter washed up on west and east Australian coasts. I thought the beaches were clean… but then discovered hidden flecks of tiny colour bits worn down by surf and white and gold sands, easy to swallow by any sea creature. In sunshine and blue skies; totally different to the big scruffy plastic rubbish washed up in stormy west coast Scotland. I brought back 7 kilos.

warmer sands and much smaller rubbish than we find in Scotland…(white sand finds Tiree)
