 > Plastic bottles are a big menace because they float and arrive on our shores.  The plastic never disappears completely.  It may be degraded to microscopic particles that can enter the food chain through ingestion by worms and other marine invertebrates. Most of the world's oceans are contaminated with microscopic plastic particles.  Litter on the shore of Champ Rouget on Guernsey's north coast on the 5 June 2007.

 > On the 5 June 2007 a small group of Guernsey Climate Action Network (G-CAN) volunteers surveyed for litter and marine debris a small stretch of beach called Champ rouget on Guernsey's north coast.  We returned on the 8 June 2007 which was World Ocean's Day to remove as much litter from the beach as possible.  Much of the litter was of marine origin.  It had been discarded from boats and brought ashore by the tide.
