It's been windy, so some debris might have been blown in, but we often see more than we did today

Bubble wrap , it's been there a long time and had started to decompose and have an almost jelly-like consistency

Cigarette filters

Wet wipes

Plastic packaging


The visibility was very bad due to the big waves today, and that probably contributed to us not finding much debris today. We believe to find much more in the next few days, unfortunately.
