In the setion where we input the address we are only able to give a postcode of a nearby area as these island villages do not have a postal service (AND THEREFORE NO POSTCODE), so this part of the data input is notrelevant for us. It would be better to have it as an optional piece of data for input.

The village is quite poor and in this area buying the alarger size is not necessarily cheaper, so many people buy small packets of food, water cups or detergent as they are cheaper. The majority of rubbish was found above 4m, so this suggests it has been washed in from the beach or has fallen off of a fishing boat (particularly the clothes).
