Yes
When was the beach last cleaned? 
07 July 2019
Did you divert from the predetermined 100 metres? 
Yes
If yes, please specify: 
The entire beach stretch was first picked on large visible objects. Then two replicas of 10 meters wide were raked and picked transects on everything small and objects hidden in the seawall. The total amount was calculated by multiplying the mean of the replicates by 10 (100 m / 10 m transect). Then these values were summed with the quantities of large litter first picked along the entire distance to get the total number objects along the 100-meter stretch.
Did you find any stranded or dead animals? 
No
Were there any circumstances that influenced the survey? 
Piles of seaweed made it hard to seperate it from litter. Overgrowth with Japanse roses in certain areas.
Were there any events that lead to unusual types and/or amounts of litter? 
No.
