The utter contrast of Cairnbulg Beach never fails to astound me.
We have removed TONNES of #beachlitter from here over the years & still it comes ashore, & yet wading through it, I came across a hatched critically endangered #FlapperSkate #eggcase !
Exasperation and hope all rolled into one….

For the next commonly found #BeachLitter item in our series we are spotlighting Wet Wipes! 🧐
Wet wipes are a top #BeachLitter culprit even “flushable” ones! They clog sewers, pollute seas, and harm marine life. Only pee, poo, and, toilet paper should go down the loo!🚽
