I am concentrating on the beaches at the moment as throughout the summer season the pollution and waste increases. As has been reported recently plastic is proving a major problem in sea pollution with some Pacific Islands being swamped with it. High tides and strong waves brings a lot of rubbish up onto the beaches as well as the usual flotsam such as wood and seaweed.<\/p>\n<p>I?hope to try and get enough images together to provide images for a local campaign to encourage people to take their waste home and bin it or recycle it. There is still more work needed on this project, and I will move inland after the sea pollution has been recorded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am trying at the moment to document the impact of people and man in general on the Gower Peninsula.
