Additional information
Was litter collected during this survey? 
Yes
When was the beach last cleaned? 
28 March 2012
Did you divert from the predetermined 100 metres? 
Yes
If yes, please specify: 
Because of a very high amount of litter on previous registrations on this beach, it was decided to divide the beach into transects that covered 21 % of the total area of the 100 m, and then multiply the results accordingly. The whole 100 m area was cleaned. The beach was due for registration in november 2012, but because of Heavy weather conditions, the november registration could not be completed in 2012.
