Additional information

Yes
When was the beach last cleaned? 
01 October 2016
Did you divert from the predetermined 100 metres? 
Yes
If yes, please specify: 
The counting of litter was divided into two parts, one part was 0-100 m and the second part was 100-135 m. Only the first part is submitted here. Due to local wind and current conditions in the bay, litter accumulates differently on different parts of the beach. Therefore, the 100 m stretch is divided into two sections: - lots of litter: 63 meters (0 - 63 m) - minor litter: 37 meters (63-100 m) The counting is based on three replicas of 1 meter. The entire stretch was first picked on large visible objects. Then everything was counted in the three replicates. The replicates were randomized within the respective sections: - 2 replicas in the distance with the most litter (63 m) - 1 replicate in the distance with less litter (37 meters) The total amount of litter was calculated by multiplying the mean values of the replicates within each part distance with length of part. Then the quantities in the sub-sections were added to the quantities with large litter that was first picked along the entire stretch.
Did you find any stranded or dead animals? 
No
