My copies of the Guide to Beach Litter arrived this week. They are the result of the work of Julia Barton and her Littoral Art project. Copies are £3 each, and you can order by e-mail and pay by PayPal if you get in touch with Julia. They are excellent, large, and I look forward to using them with students...
This project is my response to my fear of drowning in litter, which I am increasingly experiencing when on beaches around our coast. So often now high-tide lines are marked not by seaweed but by a massive tangle of manmade materials dropped or washed up. Even on beaches which look clean, grains of sand are often laced with acrylic fibres, cigarette ends, plastic granules…….and more.’
