climate march

intern.coastal cleanup day 2014

It was foggy all over the sea. Not that much litter like the other times. Good News? Usually the beaches are cleaned-up by the tourist bureau during summer. Most of the trash I found are candy wrappers, coffee to go, picnic. The season with the interesting litter starts today with strong winds from the Baltic sea. Summer is over!!!

beach clean up

On 20th of September it is International Coastal Clean-up Day organized by Ocean Conservancy. I will do it again at Elmenhorst beach.

beautiful beach

I found a new favourite beach - in southern Sweden. Almost no trash but a lot of tang.

wood

Wood covered with plastic-colour. Fish food.

findings

 

Everything from a tire to a diaper. Really frustrating are the tiny little pieces of Styrofoam. The little white stuff looks like little white stones or shells. And they are everywhere. Sometimes they have moss and algae on it and look 100% natural.

cleanup change of plan

Someone cleaned the beach with a tractor.
So new beach same day same time: Elemenhorst beach

beach cleanup

The season starts: beach clean-up at Warnemünde/Hohe Düne 2014: Sat. March 22, 13:00 as part of the annual Ocean Initiatives organized by Surfrider Foundation Europe.

We had no storm from NE so far this winter - so there is little trash on the beach (which is a good thing - but we know it is outside there in the sea).

7 handshoes

Different levels of destruction. The rubber becomes less flexible and more porous.

Nice, France

 

I finished a series with findings from the beaches in Nice, France - Mediterranean Sea.

rocket caps

 

The new years morning on the beach in Warnemünde is always "special". Why is it so difficult to take with you what you brought to beach? To much alcohol. The believe in german communal cleaning services paid from taxes.

Happy New Year

A very happy new year and a lot of good actions to save the oceans! And others.
