Food produce and other waste has been littering Sussex coastline as capsized shipping containers wash ashore
Coral Evans was walking along the beach in Brighton on Tuesday evening when she came across an unfamiliar sight.
“Hundreds of dust masks had washed up, along with single-use plastic gloves and cans of dried milk,” she said. “It was odd to see in winter – because nothing surprises us in summertime with the amount of people on the beach.”
The Brighton resident returned the next day to find an even greater shock awaiting her: “There were onions everywhere, hundreds of thousands of onions.”
Evans, who is the founding director of the Leave No Trace Brighton community group, said the beach was littered with countless miscellaneous items including single-use plastic coffee cup lids, unopened beer cans and vegetables such as sweet potatoes.
