Littered beaches

Have you ever wondered what careless dumping can do? …..This is a local beach that is full of plastic rubbish that has been transferred to this otherwise beautiful spot by sea current. This plastic debris, most likely was carelessly dumped into the sea by boat owners. Any sea creatures can mistake this plastic litter with their food. But are just boat owners that are littering our sea? Tourists visiting our islands, coming across such a littered beach will retain a bad impression. A clean-up operation is urgently called for by responsible authorities before the tourists season starts in earnest. The authorities should also post signs to keep the beaches clean, and organise a media campaign to educate the public on the harm of irresponsible plastic waste.
