Additional Information
3 days ago was a national holiday here in Korea ( Liberation Day). While I was at the site on that day, I am positive there were many people there having day trips and camping. Most of this debris came from a single location about 2 meters deep that appeared to have been filled with camping trash and suck within a bag with a rock. Nearly all of the plastic bags/wrappers with in the same general location.
Big plastic Crate
PLastic food crap ( from people eating/cooking on the beach)
