Forkin' hell - deadly marine litter


By far the scariest find on yesterday's SAS Big Spring Beach Clean at Shoreham, Sussex was this garden fork that had been honed by the pebbles into a potentially lethal impaling device. Even more worringly, it was found right at one of the area's most popular surfspots - the Hot Pipe. Altogether, 222kg of marine litter was collected by about 40 volunteers from the local area and as far as London and the University of Surrey. A stretch of beach about a mile long was tackled - from the mouth of the River Adur to the Brighton/Hove boundary.
