Additional information
Was litter collected during this survey? 
Yes
When was the beach last cleaned? 
01 July 2018
Did you divert from the predetermined 100 metres? 
Yes
If yes, please specify: 
We had to take a number of samples and calculate the amount of litter along the 100-meter stretch. The reason was that there were very large amounts of seaweed on the beach with ensnared litter. The estimated time to go through all seaweed would be unreasonably long.
Did you find any stranded or dead animals? 
No
Were there any circumstances that influenced the survey? 
Yes, A Lot of seaweed, hard to separate the litter. Overgrowth with Rosa rugosa in some parts of the beach.
Were there any events that lead to unusual types and/or amounts of litter? 
No
