Read moreJust before Christmas, I took part in a beach clean on Bridlington sea front. I expected straws, plastic bags, bottles... the single use plastic that is on our minds right now. What I didn't expect was the mountains of sanitary waste. That waist-high pile of rubbish in my photo is the remains of disposable nappies and sanitary products found within about 10 minutes on a 20m stretch of beach. Everything entangled and embedded in seaweed so you wouldn't know what it was on a winter beach stroll. And any seaweed munchers out in the sea wouldn't either. Pretty grim eh?
Big question is where did this come from? Why is this much sanitary waste being dumped in the sea, to wash up on beaches like this? Big questions for...
