Our survey says....

We took part in the first Portsmouth Plastic survey with Jetsam and University of Portsmouth.

We chose Milton Common as our survey point and the tide was out so we concentrated our efforts on the beach.

We photographed all the plastics we found for the survey. We found all the usual suspects (cigarette butt's, cans, bottles, food wrappers) as well as fishing wire, an onion bag, bits of packaging, extremely bad smelling half full/empty drinks cans, a pair of socks, a dustpan (??) and a rope wrapped in seaweed... Wrestling was the order of the day to free some of the seaweed and attached stones back to the beach.

We managed to squeeze all our findings into the bins in the area and Judy managed to rescue some recyclables to take home.

Good deeds done, we all headed off for various exciting Saturday activities!
