Beach litter is still a concern
Thursday 10th April 2008, 12:45PM BST.
THE amount of litter recorded on Channel Islands beaches has fallen – but there were still 25,521 items collected in just two days.
Some 40 beaches were cleaned across the islands – 31 in Guernsey – as part of the Marine Conservation Society National Beachwatch survey last September.
Results released today show an average of 1,414.5 items of rubbish per kilometre, down from 1,626.2 in 2006. Debris from beach users was the main source.
